Residency
Artist Residency: Silences and Stories
Develop a response to our forthcoming Pia Arke exhibition and create a mini pop-up experience in our Active Space!
This is an open access encounter, where the public are invited to explore your practice and your response to Pia Arke’s work. Visitors can take part in different ways, for example – through conversations, responding to resources, listening to presentations and handling materials through workshops.
A willingness to engage and share your work with the audience is essential. This project aims to foster discussion, play and an exploration of ideas connected to Pia Arke’s work, your personal practice and audience experiences.
Here at John Hansard Gallery:
We run regular family- friendly workshops on Saturdays between 11am – 1pm, and JHG Collective between 2.30pm – 4.30pm on alternate Saturdays. We also host a regular Wednesday afternoon art group with Southampton Winchester Visitor Group. If your project happens when these groups are at the Gallery, you will be asked to explain your work to the group, engage with them and support their ongoing projects. These sessions will be accompanied by a member of JHG Engagement team.
The doors of the Active Space will remain open to allow the audience of the exhibition full access to the space. You will be encouraged to interact with the public and answer any questions they may have about your practice. If you require assistance developing questions for the public to access your artwork, we can provide help where needed. Encounters could be drop-in and we may have timed visits from schools, community groups and or colleges.
You will have access to the space between Monday to Saturday, 10am – 5.30pm (the Gallery is open to the public from 11am – 5pm).
We will be documenting the duration of your stay, either in house or with a professional photographer. We ask that the work you produce during this residency culminates to a point where it can be left in the space open to the public.
Throughout your residency, we would expect regular interaction with our social media outlets. This can be done through the Engagement team at John Hansard Gallery.
