Call to Artists: Collagists in the Archives Residency
Collagists in the Archives Residency
Virtual residency centered on the Stewart-Swift Research Center at the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History in Middlebury, Vermont, USA.
Deadline to Apply: Sunday, 17 April 2022
The materials collage artists use for the artwork can play a critical role in the work’s meaning and how it makes its way into the world. Historical archives, when one understands how to use them, can be fruitful grounds. In this virtual Residency, collage artists will learn how to work with an archive to build a project that speaks to themes of community and history. Centered around the Stewart-Swift Research Center at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vermont, participating artists will explore their collections and develop tools they can use to work with archives in their home communities.
In five meetings held during the month of May, participating artists will make an artwork that will be considered for an exhibition at the Henry Sheldon Museum in the Fall of 2022 and included in a book to be published by Kolaj Institute. That exhibition will be a collection of twenty collage prints all of which interprets the museum’s archive material, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary for a 21st century international audience. In this project, collage artists will use materials in the Stewart-Swift Research Center collections and the histories they hold to interrogate the question, What makes a community?
