'Amateur'- late 18th century: from French, from Italian amatore, from Latin amator ‘lover’, from amare ‘to love’.

​

Artist(s) In Residence(s) is a new socially engaged and deeply immersive curatorial project that exhibits the work of amateur artists in their own homes.

​

Born from a sense of dissatisfaction with the way the life of professional artist can become, I decided I would like to return to a place of appreciating and finding the love in the creative process. Beginning with an open call out, this new work- ideal for festival contexts- invites a small group of audience members into the homes of the artist to experience their work. Sometimes music, sometimes paintings, sometimes interactive installation, each event is unique. 

​

At the heart of each exhibition/performance there is a constructed conversation between myself and the artist to discuss the ideas, processes and histories involved in being a private practitioner. Each event is documented and uploaded onto the following blog:
