AIRspace Artist-in-Residence Exhibition
06/28/2017 - 08/18/2017
466 Grand Street
The 2016 – 2017 AIRspace residents will be given an 11-month workspace at Abrons Arts Center, the opportunity to present and exhibit works-in-progress, curate exhibitions and performances in the Abrons’ galleries, teach in school-based education programs and meet with visiting curators and critics.
The 2016 – 2017 AIRspace residency recipients
were chosen by guest panelists Andrianna Campbell (independent
curator and doctoral candidate, Department of Art History at the CUNY Graduate
Center) and artist Sean Micka (who also participated in the
AIRspace program in 2014 – 2015). Additional panelists included Abrons staff:
Jay Wegman (Artistic Director), Carolyn Sickles (Director of Engagement) and
Joshua Lubin-Levy (Interim Director of Visual Arts). The application pool was
extremely competitive and revealed a wealth of talented artists in need of vital
workspace and support. Abrons staff and guest panelists were encouraged by the
energy and breadth of ideas demonstrated within the applications and would like
to express sincere gratitude to all artists and curators who applied.
