ARTS RESIDENCY RESEARCH NETWORK/ARRN (GLOBAL)
14:00-15:30 BKK TIME - PANEL, ARTS RESIDENCY RESEARCH NETWORK (AARN)
Since this year of disruption, virtuality and ecology have acquired new
meanings, enhancing the need to care, think and be otherwise. A small
international collective of researchers and practitioners studying artist
residencies have come together to share ideas, and imagine new
pathways into the new constellation in which we are all a part. They
are exploring the meaning of presenciliality (the condition of 'being
present’) and its others, chronodiversity, radical hospitality, cross-
cultural resonances, and the perception of space and the creative act
as embedded in wider ecologies. How can a residency respect the time
of life, of the artist, the artwork and the institution? Can the monopoly
of the presence, so often performed through artist residencies, be
challenged? How do we deconstruct the current thinking around
residencies and consider the specificities of remote and non-urban
territories, and Indigenous knowledge and cultures? If physical
movement is replaced, how might that affect the essence of the residency as the disruption of one's habitus?
Who holds the digital space?
