SUMMARY:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! | Art Student Residency Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! \n\n\n\nThe Greensboro Project Space Art Student Residency Program \n\n\n\nAugust Cohort in Residence: August 5 – 17\, 2024 \n\n\n\nOpen Public Studios Hours: \n\n\n\nAugust 12th | 12-3p \n\n\n\nAugust 14th | 12-5p \n\n\n\nAugust 16th | 6-8p \n\n\n\nGPS is pleased to present the 2nd annual student residency program\, Summer Studios: Arts on Site! This residency will assist in educating students that the gallery can also act as makerspace\, where they can play\, experiment\, take creative risks\, and develop their artistic voice. \n\n\n\nDesigned to support UNCG undergraduate student artists (BA + BFA) striving to develop\, adapt\, and/or reinvent their creative process and to promote artistic growth and development\, artists are afforded two-weeks of uninterrupted research and development\, coupled with financial support and public presentational platforms to share their creative work. The residency’s mission is to be an adaptive space to build a sustaining art community for our UNCG students so their creativity and connection to the Greensboro community thrives.  \n\n\n\nThis student opportunity was made possible by our Founding Sponsor\, Maggie Triplette \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAugust Cohort \n\n\n\nConstantine Sotos (BFA Printmaking and Drawing) plans to use several mediums\, such as charcoal\, ink\, metal\, linoleum\, and photographs to explore his experience of living and growing up in Lumberton\, NC. Lumberton has always been the city that his mind wanders to and he plans to assemble a space as a tribute to this place which\, out of pure luck\, he has since moved from. There will be several pieces of debris from Lumberton placed around the space to bring any viewer into a different environment/state of mind. Prior to the two weeks at GPS\, he will record the people and places of Lumberton\, as well as gather materials from around the town. \n\n\n\nLaura Herandez (BFA Painting) intends to investigate the relationships between familial connections that people could possibly have that are heavily focused on Hispanic/Latino backgrounds through painting. This research will be conducted by comparing multiple experiences from different perspectives and delving on how these links might be based on other outside hardships that individuals could go through that can cause these relationships to transpire. This subjected would be incorporated through works in symbolic visuals or icons that will be deliberately ambiguous at the surface. Research will span from documentaries\, social media\, other’s experiences\, and so on. \n\n\n\nMelissa Ferguson (BFA Sculpture and Ceramics) will continue an exploration of movement and sound in conjunction with viewer interaction. She plans to experiment with different materials (wood\, metal\, and found objects) at a large scale and envision a room in which movement through will create a variety of noises. Using an armature to secure and hang items of varying materials and sizes at different lengths\, floor fans will also be used to activate the space when no one is in it. \n\n\n\nChloe Rush (BFA Drawing) will investigate how two portraits set in her inventive universe are in conversation with one another\, which draw upon her research interests. She draws black people in an Afro-futuristic Southern universe that she invented\, by using drawing mediums to explore the complexity of the multitudes of black identity in the South. Through these images she examines what defines “normal” in the context of growing up between two different classes in the South while challenging the logic of limiting stereotypes that pertain to black bodies to build new truths outside of the dominant narrative. She plans to experiment with defining what is considered “not normal” in the black south and shine a light on these “abnormalities.”
