The Decapitated Museum
Faculty: Vincent Normand Guest: Etienne Chambaud Program dates: November 13–December 7, 2012 Application deadline: June 8, 2012
Speaking
for real: this isn't a history painting, it's a book of stories. A book being
written with stories like the ones you get told when you're getting your head
chopped off—before going up there, or coming back from the show. Stories like
they tell in museums.
This
residency is addressed to participants willing to engage in speculative
inquiry on the matter of exhibition, whether they work as artists, curators,
or writers. The moment of exhibition will act as a figure towards which
converge diverse spaces of authority (the studio, the exhibition space,
criticism). The residency will thus be structured in as many points of
enunciation, with individual studio and research time, public talks, and
collective discussions enhanced by screenings and reading sessions.Banff Artist in Residence (BAIR) Programs Ongoing opportunities Banff Artist in Residence programs offer independent periods of study where artists, curators, and other arts professionals are free to experiment and explore. Participants are provided with an individual studio accessible 24 hours a day, as well as use of Visual Arts facilities including printmaking, papermaking, ceramics, sculpture, and photography. BAIR offers short and long-term opportunities to work at a remove from the constraints of everyday life.
