SUNDAY NOV. 22 12-4PM
723 Chestnut St. 2nd Floor
As part of their Artist-in-Residency Program, Basekamp currently has a number of of live/work studios available to interested participants. Please join us on Sunday to learn more about this opportunity along with other related programming information or contact us at projects@basekamp.com We look forward to seeing you then.
Basekamp Residency Program
Basekamp is a non-commercial organization of people researching and co-developing interdisciplinary, self-organized art projects with other individuals and groups in various authorship-blurring configurations for the past decade. We use our Philadelphia space, along with temporary camps in other locations, as a home base to invite domestic and international collaborative groups in a joint experiment to develop new models of relations within overlapping art communities. The goal is to continue proposing collaboration as a practical and theoretical stance, and to participate in its evolution.
Basekamp is currently preparing for their next project, Plausible Art Worlds, which launches January 2010 . In conjunction with this event we are excited to announce a search for individuals, collectives, satellite groups and meta-organizations to participate in the residency program for short and/or long stays during this coming year. Basekamp residents will have the opportunity to participate in and facilitate activities connected to scheduled Plausible Art Worlds 2010 programming.
What is Plausible Art Worlds?
Plausible Artworlds is a collaborative initiative that aims to provide a platform for examining and accompanying the emergence of plural artistic environments. This comes in context of ever growing numbers of art-related practices both requiring artworld settings different from those currently on offer, and proactively involved in bringing them into existence. Artists’ ideas about, and experiments with, alternate artworlds will be made accessible through a series of 50 weekly email broadcasts and live events, culminating in an online and printed publication. The series of events are loosely delineated into six categories, with roughly two months devoted to each subject. More information at http://www.basekamp.com/about/projects/plausible-artworlds.
Studio Details
$375 per month per live/work studio space. These financial contributions help to keep Basekamp’s doors open and sustain largely self-organized activity. Work spaces include 24 hour access to facilities including a woodshop, internet access, kitchen, washer/dryer, two bathrooms and shower, and common space. The space is partitioned into 8 live/workspaces; dimensions vary. We will be showing spaces to prospective residents on an ongoing basis. Please call Michael G. Bauer at 323-404-2569 to schedule a visit.
