CALL TO ARTISTS
Closing Deadline to Apply: Monday, 4 November 2024. A month-long, digital/on-line collage artist residency in November and December 2024. As a part of a year-long investigation of castles as buildings, metaphors, and methods of energy, Kolaj Institute will host a month-long digital artist residency centered on castles and the area they occupy in our up to date creativeness. The residency will construct on the work accomplished by artists in Collage Artist Residency: Scotland and New Orleans the place artists explored feudal citadel methods, manor homes, and plantations as buildings, metaphors, and methods of energy. After the Residency, artists might be invited to suggest paintings for inclusion in Kolaj Institute’s Citadel Challenge, an exhibition, e book, and associated packages in 2025-2026 that invite viewers to think about how the historical past of castles, colonies, plantations, and companies relate to 1 one other and form the world we dwell in at this time. Laurie Riccadonna’s collage, Sanquhar-Citadel-Ruins speaks to the fragmentation of historical past and reminiscence. She accomplished this collage as a part of Collage Artist Residency: Scotland in September 2024. READ MORE
