Amy Siegel's work focuses on the way space, history and memory inform the way we experience the world. The ghosts of people, objects and moments breathe life into a place, even in their absence. Physical environments are experienced on multiple levels: what we see, what we remember, and the stories we’ve heard. A particular focus of Amy's is shadow play and the space beyond light both visually (in terms of projection and illusion) and metaphorically (exploring dream worlds, death and the psyche).

Amy created Remember Well during her residency. 

Beth Cohen created Object Obituaries during her residency. 

Carmen Papalia designs experiences that invite those involved to expand their perceptual mobility and claim access to public and institutional spaces. Often requiring trust and closeness, these engagements disorient the participant in order to introduce new modes of orientation that allow for perceptual and sensorial discovery. An open sourcing of his own embodiment, Papalia’s work makes visible the opportunities for learning and knowing that come available through the non-visual senses. It is a chance to unlearn looking and to help acknowledge, map and name entire unseen bodies of knowledge.

Carmen created Blind Field Shuttle during his residency.

Using sincere parody, I bring individual meaning to tired tropes and ask audiences to question authenticity in order to generate new ways of seeing, hearing, and experiencing personal, social, and historical events. Creating parallel planes is achieved through unapologetic appropriation of signifiers such as institutional voice and stock images, sociological and archival inquiry, pedagogical techniques such as socio-dramatic play, and temporal juxtaposition. Recent performances at venues including: The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Hillyer Art Space, The Back Alley Theater, and other DIY venues in D.C., as well as The Leslie – Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in Manhattan, Panoply in Brooklyn, and The Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston.
