Joan Mitchell Foundation Residency Spring 2024

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be a resident at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans in April/May 2024!

Diverse Array of Emerging and Mid-Career Artists Announced as Joan Mitchell Foundation’s 2024 Artists-in-Residence

The Joan Mitchell Foundation today announced its selection of a diverse and distinguished group of artists to participate in the 2024 Artists-in-Residence program at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans. This year’s cohort of 37 artists includes a dynamic group of 16 artists from across the United States participating alongside 21 artists local to New Orleans. The 2024 residency program is divided into three sessions, in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, and will provide these artists with the space and support needed to develop new work—while also offering an immersive experience in the heart of one of America’s most culturally rich cities.

“The 2024 Artists-in-Residence embody the spirit of creativity and exploration that Joan Mitchell championed throughout her life,” said Christa Blatchford, Executive Director of the Joan Mitchell Foundation. “Their diverse practices and perspectives continue the Foundation’s legacy of supporting artists in their creative process, as Mitchell’s will directed. We are thrilled to be able to provide them with the time, space, and resources to focus, and look forward to the dynamic energy they will bring to the Joan Mitchell Center.”

"Winter Garden" at A.P.T. Gallery, London

‘Winter Garden’ is an exhibition featuring Byzantia Harlow, Gregory Herbert, Hannah Lim, Karolina Dworksa, Katia Kesic and Sophia Belkin which takes the form of a greenhouse gone wrong. Here we can consider the space of the greenhouse, in particular its 19th century ideas/traditions, as a lens to consider sustainability and the climate crisis. A Victorian greenhouse of the future allows us to imagine what this former feat of human intelligence might look like in the landscape of climate change and whether or not it might even be possible or necessary. The artworks in this exhibition engage with biology and botany and transport us to other worlds and futures. Who knows what freaks of nature may flourish in an out-of-control environment of bizarre cross-pollination and alien life. Who knows what ideas we may draw from an image of a future not so distant, and not so unfamiliar.
