BRIAN BLOCK (he/him/his)
United States

Discipline: Visual Arts
In Residence: April 6 – May 6, 2022

Brian Block is a sculptor whose work stems from original research into the language and ideology of selected “perceptual authorities.” Block considers his foundational research – studying an institution, collecting artifacts, archiving as the beginnings of a form of “counter knowledge” at the base of his practice. His works arise from the reshaping of the tropes of legitimacy of his sources, offering a fictive trick-mirror imitation of institutional reality production. His practice is positioned in the interplay of the somewhat fictive reality of ideology with the fictive realm of art. Block lives and works in New York City and Grafton, NY.

This residency is supported through the Maria Bacardi Artist Scholarship, established by a generous gift from artist Maria Pessino, in honor of her late grandmother.

RYAN PONDER MCNAMARA
United States

Discipline: Performance Art, Dance, Visual Art
In Residence: June 16-29, 2022

Ryan Ponder McNamara, a maestro of light self-mortification, rose to prominence in 2010 with his arduous months-long project, Make Ryan a Dancer, in which museum- goers watched him learn from the pros in daily, hard lessons; the effort didn’t make him a dancer, but it did make him a star. In the decade-plus since, his devotion to wringing meaning out of the barest means of artistic production has proved unstinting. There seems to be no site he can’t turn into a situation, no situation whose alienating potential escapes him.

McNamara is the featured artist of The Watermill Center’s partnership with Works & Process LaunchPAD “Process as Destination” residency.

TSUBASA KATO (he/him/his)
Japan

Discipline: Visual Art
In Residence: June 21 – August 3, 2022

One common characteristic of Kato’s multimedia projects, involving performance, structures and video, is communal practice: his representative Pull and Raise/Topple (moving a large structure with ropes in public space) relies on spontaneous participation. Since completing a project in Fukushima after the 2011 disaster, his work has become more satirical projects which play with social boundaries, such as They Do Not Understand Each Other on an uninhabited island between Korea and Japan. A community of refugees facing eviction pulls down a structure that resembles their homes in Break it Before it’s Broken. Four Americans tied together by ropes perform the US national anthem in Woodstock 2017. His projects and installations challenge the viewer to reconceive their sense of distances between us.

His works have been widely exhibited in Turf and Perimeter [Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery]; Scratching the Surface, [Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin,]; They Do Not Understand Each Other [Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong]; BECOMING A COLLECTIVE BODY [MAXXI, Rome]; Aichi Triennale 2019 [Aichi, Japan]; Reenacting History [MMCA, Gwacheon, South Korea]; Uprisings [Jeu de Paume, Paris], amongst others.

Finding inspiration in the art of the distant past, from Medieval Christian imagery to Mayan and Sumerian art, as well as popular contemporary sources such as animation, Nava creates compositions that are carefully considered yet marked by a sense of naivete and spontaneity. His art has been exhibited in various solo exhibitions both domestically and abroad, including Bloodsport (2022) at Night Gallery, Robert Nava (2021) at Pace East Hampton, Robert Nava (2021) at Pace Palm Beach, Robert Nava: Angels (2021) at Vito Schnabel Gallery, and Robert Nava (2020) at Sorry We’re Closed in Brussels.

JOYCE HO (she/her/hers)
Taiwan

HANK WILLIS THOMAS & FOR FREEDOMS
United States

Discipline: Multidisciplinary
In Residence: September 14 – October 7, 2022

Hank Willis Thomas (b. 1976, Plainfield, NJ) is an American conceptual artist working primarily with themes of perspective, identity, commodity, media, and popular culture. His body of work encompasses video, public art and collaborative installations, sculpture, and photography that inspires reflection on how art informs racial equity and civil rights. The first major retrospective of Thomas’ work, titled Hank Willis Thomas: All Things Being Equal…, debuted in 2019 at Portland Art Museum, Portland, OR, and followed in 2020 at Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, Bentonville, AK and Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, OH.

Thomas incorporates widely identifiable iconography in his images to create commentaries on racial inequality, violence, bias and portrayal of Black bodies perpetuated through advertising. In Absolut Power (2003), Thomas depicted the silhouette of the namesake beverage and filled its volume with the cramped arrangement of enslaved bodies aboard ships during the Atlantic slave trade. In the photographic series Branded (2003-2006), he superimposed the Nike swoosh logo onto Black male bodies to reference jarring images of slave branding and the modern exploitation of the Black male body—particularly in athletics.

For Freedoms is an artist-led organization that models and increases creative civic engagement, discourse, and direct action. They work with artists and organizations to center the voices of artists in public discourse, expand what participation in a democracy looks like, and reshape conversations about politics. Formed in 2016 by a coalition of BIPOC, queer, and allied artists, For Freedoms has organized hundreds of artist-designed billboards championing the voices of artists and their communities.

Hank Willis Thomas & For Freedoms are recipients of the 2022 Inga Maren Otto Fellowship at The Watermill Center.

 

 

KOR’SIA
Spain, Italy

Discipline: Dance
In Residence: October 19 – November 18, 2022

For the KOR’SIA collective, the arts and specifically the arts of movement, as their competence, are the only representations that manage to transmit the human world, everything created by our societies: tradition, society, culture, etc, in a way that no other cognitive skill achieves. Surviving in time beyond the societies that produced them and managing to transcend what we call ideas, providing individuals with access to their most intimate and spiritual ways.

Therefore, the objective of this collective is based on the creation of artistic devices whose epicenter is located in the body and that proposes a reflection on the possible gestation of individual and collective spaces, which can provide new access to ways of being and being. in the world through the living arts.

Currently, Antonio de Rosa and Mattia Russo are the directors and choreographers of the project, together with the Performing Arts researcher and co-founder, Giuseppe Dagostino, and the Professor of Performing Arts Agnès López-Río as artistic advisor, are the main architects of the KOR’SIA collective.

United Kingdom, United States

Discipline: Research, Academia, Theatre
In Residence: October 19 – November 18, 2022

Matthew Randle-Bent is a theatre scholar and artist from the UK, based in Chicago, IL. His work focuses on the cultivation of two particular subjectivities: the “critical attitude” described by Brecht, and the new subjectivities fostered by twentieth century “landscape” performance. Randle-Bent is currently working on two projects. One focuses on the relationship between landscape, the “spirit,” and performance — through practice and historical research. The other is a historical research project focusing on the International Theatre Institute’s Third World theatre committee — a body that hosted festivals in the Philippines, Iran, France, and the GDR during the 1970s. This work highlights unfinished histories of radical performance, as well as the transnational foundations of performance theory between what was known as the “Second” and “Third” worlds. He holds a BA from Warwick University, MA from Queen Mary, University of London, and is currently completing his PhD at Northwestern University. 

This residency is supported through the Maria Bacardi Artist Scholarship, established by a generous gift from artist Maria Pessino, in honor of her late grandmother.
