Join LMCC for virtually-reimagined studio visits with 2019–2020 Workspace Artists-in-Residence. During the OHNY weekend, LMCC will host two live sessions, each featuring five members of the current cohort. During these sessions, the artists will each present their work, conduct fireside-style chats with one another, and answer questions from the live audience.
The 10 participating artists work across a number of different mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and performance, each examining new ways to express and refine their practice in unique and diverse ways. While never grouped within Workspace by theme, their shared experience as part of the residency program has provided a generative space of discussion around shared topics of interests, as well as an equally important place to build a network of support with and for one another. In an effort to directly share the collective knowledge and connection fostered during their time together, during the two LMCC OHNY sessions, the artists will be in unmediated conversation with one another, so as to provide the viewer with an intimate and direct understanding of each artists work individually, as well as touch on the nuances that link their work and practices in more overarching ways.
LMCC’s flagship program, Workspace is a nine-month studio residency based in Lower Manhattan that focuses on creative practice development for emerging artists. Workspace offers space for experimentation and dialogue with peers and arts professionals, as well as career-advancement opportunities.
