KORDON invites artists-in-residence from the Nordic and Baltic region to widen the understanding of food in relation to energy. Over a two year cyclical residency following the variety of seasons, the LAB allows the selected participants to create an in-depth relationship to the north-east context and its recurrent political reshapings.  We recognise food as a carrier of locality and culture wherein techniques such as smoking, drying, salting and fermenting have been necessary transformations of energy sources to sustain life in the northern hemisphere. 

This connection has been disappearing with the separation of food production from its origin and the artificial refinement of produce – maintaining the social and economic status quo of globalisation.  How can we identify other modes than production and consumption? How to merge traditional techniques with contemporary knowledge? How can transdisciplinary practices propose alternative relations to food and energy? 

 The grounds and the context of the residency, situated on the Unesco biosphere reserve amidst the Baltic Sea on Hiiumaa island in Estonia, forms a starting point for further engagement between the residents’ artistic practices, the locality and its inhabitants. By inviting residents to map, reflect and transform techniques and knowledge of food in relation to energy – we seek for a paradigm shift in our perception of making human and other-than-human life possible.

Resident’s contribution upon completion: installation, intervention or other materialised artistic gesture that will be shared with the public leaving a trace to the grounds of KORDON

We offer free accommodation in the newly reconstructed residency house (including a separate bed- and bathroom).

KORDON LAB ON FOOD AND ENERGY

Atlantic Center for the Arts is an innovative nonprofit artists-in-residence program that provides artists with an opportunity to work, collaborate, and be mentored by some of the world’s most distinguished artists in the visual, literary and performing arts. Since the program began in 1982, over 3500 artists have been served from the US and worldwide.

The three-week Residency Program brings together three “Mentoring Artists” from different disciplines, such as the visual arts (painting, sculpture, photography, film/video, and multimedia), architecture, music (composition and performance), literature, choreography, dance, performance art, and theater. Each Mentoring Artist determines the requirements and basic structure of their residency, and through an online application process, they each may select up to eight “Associate Artists” to participate in the three-week program. The essence of the program is to provide a collegial environment for artists of all disciplines where they can engage in meaningful interaction and stimulating discussions, while pursuing individual or group projects. It is an ideal setting for the exchange of ideas, the inspiration for new work, and the cross-fertilization of disciplines. The programs can include formal classes, discussions, individual meetings, individual and group critiques, collaboration, and studio time. The award-winning Leeper Studio Complex provides residents with resources such as a painting studio, sculpture studio, digital media studio, dance studio, music/recording studio, writers’ studio, black box theatre and library.

The residency begins with an informal supper to introduce the artists to Atlantic Center and one another, and to discuss the schedule and format for the residency. Artists are given a tour of the grounds and the shared studio spaces. Private accommodations are provided for each artist. Associate Artists are provided with a private room with a full-size bed, bathroom with shower, small refrigerator, and desk space with a view of the natural vegetation. Mentoring Artists each have their own cottage that also includes a full kitchen and sitting area, as well as views of the surrounding landscape. Three meals a day are provided in the Whatmore Commons during the week to all artists; special dietary needs are accommodated. Meals are not provided on the weekends, however, ACA arranges transportation to the market twice a week and the kitchen facilities in the Whatmore Commons are available 24/7. The entire facility is handicap accessible and handicap-accessible rooms are available.

During their stay, Associates spend approximately two hours per day, Monday through Friday, working with their Mentoring Artist and their group in meetings, workshops, casual conversations and occasional recreational activities. When not with the Mentoring Artist, Associates are free to spend the remainder of their time pursuing their own projects. Studios are communal and shared, and are open to all artists 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
 Interaction and collaboration with artists in other disciplines is encouraged but not required. In the first week of the residency, Associates have the opportunity during our brief introduction sessions to give a synopsis ranging from current projects, ideas, or a list of favorite things. This familiarizes the other artists and opens doors to collaboration among or between disciplines if they choose. 

 There are several free public events scheduled during each residency. An opening reception is held the first Friday of the residency in the Pabst Visitor Center & Gallery and is typically attended by members of ACA’s Board of Trustees, ACA patrons and members of the community. A closing reception and presentations of new work and works in-progress are presented on the final Thursday night in a program titled, “INsideOUT.” Although Associate participation is optional, INsideOUT is an opportunity for the public to witness examples of the Associate Artists’ work. This event could include adult content and is marketed for a mature audience. During the residency each Mentoring Artist is scheduled to give a lecture about their work and career. These public outreach programs often take place at partnering institutions, and ACA will arrange for the Associates’ transportation to these off-site events. 

ACA Artist-in-Residence Program

The Art-in-Education (AIE) Workspace Residency is for artists interested in working with local school students while creating their own work in WSW’s supportive and immersive environment. This is an opportunity for artists with a range of teaching experience, from seasoned teachers and professors, to those with minimal experience and an interest in gaining skills and knowledge. 

 The Art-in-Education program is a model for arts education and operates in conjunction with the Kingston City School District. AIE provides a high quality arts experience by bringing students to WSW’s professional artists’ workspace and giving them concentrated time to learn.

 Our staff and AIE program manager work with the school’s teachers and the resident artists to develop and execute a curriculum related to the students’ in-school work.  Resident artists must be able to teach intaglio, silkscreen, or hand papermaking, and are welcome to complete their personal work in any of WSW’s studios: intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screenprinting, darkroom photography, or ceramics. All artists receive a thorough studio orientation and are expected to work independently, though studio staff is available to provide assistance. Deep technical assistance can be arranged for an additional fee. 

Artists must provide their own materials, some of which can be purchased from WSW.  Spring residency: During a five-week residency, artists teach fourth and/or eighth graders in WSW’s studios two days/week for three weeks and visit the students twice in school. In exchange for teaching, residents receive 24/7 studio access during non-AIE sessions and on-campus housing.  Fall residency: During a four-week residency, artists teach high school students in WSW’s studios one day/week and visit the students in school at least once. 

 As of 2019, all workspace residencies are fully subsidized! This means that while artists are still responsible for their own travel, materials, meals, and other personal incidentals while in residence, WSW provides housing and studio space at no cost.

DRAWinternational – Drawing Research Centre A place of research, experimentation and the production of drawing in all its forms. Above all, it aims to be a place to develop and reveal the various processes of contemporary drawing and to share and exchange ideas between the artist and the public. DRAW – drawing, research, action and works The centre welcomes international artists who, for several weeks take possession of the studios to reflect, experiment and create works and who, during this time, invite us to discover their way of thinking and making contemporary drawing. DRAWinternational set out some years ago to celebrate drawing ‘for itself’ and ‘for others’ i.e. as it relates to other representational media.  Our artists-in-residence programme attracts artists who wish to extend their professional practice and theoretical understanding, with the very issues reflected in contemporary society. That is, through human endeavour, reflection, discourse and action.

Artists are required to raise their own funds, we do however, provide the necessary documentation to support applications for funding and references for future career opportunities.

Artists have shared self catering accommodation with private bedrooms in a five storey medieval building in the heart of the village.The centre provides an evening meal for all artists once a week, as well as on special occasions, using fresh local produce to create delicious menus that incorporate regional specialities.

Drawing Research Centre Residency

The residency honors the inspiring, generous legacy of Maura Baldi— a dynamic educator of literature, a fierce protector of the curiosity and expression of youth, and a spirited advocate for art, sustainable land practices and the life and history of the area. “La Baldi” (The Baldi), as her beloved students called her, was and is even now a unique force in their lives. She trusted and believed in the power of their potential to be extraordinary human beings and engaged world citizens. Sharing and exchange were imperatives for La Baldi, and they permeate the ethos of the residency along with Cultivate’s free-ranging investigation of landscape.   Residents are introduced to the history, culture, ecology, agriculture, food and cooking of Montegiovi, Italy, and are encouraged to immerse themselves in the landscape by working outdoors, walking, eating/cooking, and exploring the social-environmental-political dynamic and resources of the local communities.

 This is a multi-disciplinary program open to self-directed artists, writers, and researchers. Residents are encouraged to immerse themselves in the landscape, place, cultural practices, and the air, sunlight, soil and water that we share.
