Sleepover at the Crawl Space
Posted by Ali MarcusThe Crawl Space Gallery has put out a call for submissions for a deliciously intriguing concept. The first annual Studio Intensive Residency is looking for a resident who will consent to a one-week lock-in (September 18-24). The artist has seven days and seven nights to prepare an exhibit to be installed the following week. Hot plate, refrigerator, toilet, sink, cot, and meals are provided.
Sounds a lot like Joseph Beuys’ 1974 work I Like America And America Likes Me, in which he shut himself into a gallery space with a coyote for three days, except that Beuys was performing art whereas this lucky resident will be creating an exhibit. Before you apply, ask youself this important question: can you really go seven days and seven nights without email access?
Submission Details:
1. On CD or DVD:
- 10-20 digital images of recent work
2. Printed:
- proposed use of time during residency lock-in
and how you hope to impact your work
- artist resume and statement
- work sample description
3. $10 application fee made payable to Crawl Space
