Eligibility

The program is open to all artists, curators and critics, but uniquely supports the research, development and presentation of work that utilizes innovative forms and unconventional structures such as alternative spaces and economies, publications and writing, archives, collaborations, artist-led projects and experimental institutional practices. Our open calls are oriented around distinct sessions that engage thematic interests being explored elsewhere in the institution through exhibitions, publications, and extensive public programs.

Number of Participants

Three residents or collaboratives are accepted at a given time. Housing consists of three live/work studios with a shared living room, dinning room, kitchen, bath and laundry. Thanks to the support of the Sustainable Arts Foundation, we offer a dedicated residency for artists, critics and curators with children. These select residencies will come with additional financial support, assistance with childcare, and a personalized environment for the unique needs of families.

Program Description

The session will take place from April 1st through July 31st, 2019 in parallel with a large-scale public art platform, Counterpublic, which will commission artists, activists, choreographers, writers, and performers to activate storefronts, parks, and gathering spaces throughout our neighborhood, embedding art directly within the everyday life of the community. Counterpublic attempts to expand spaces of dissent, dialogue, care, and complexity within The Luminary’s immediate community through responsive commissions and intentional intersections with this space. We encourage applications that engage communal land use and neighborhood change, monument-making for marginalized communities, choreographies of resistance, and the decolonization of public space.
