Residency Program at Glasshouse
The Artist in Residence Program at Glasshouse Project was launched in 2009 and serves one of our core offerings since. This platform serves professionals in the performance field (artists, curators and scholars) who deepen their work and research while engaging with the various communities in/around Glasshouse. These residencies are at the core of what Glasshouse stands for- sharing our home, resources and community with visiting artists who are developing new work.
Application is now open. More details on our open calls page for 2025. Deadline is February 15, 2025.
2024 Artists in Residence:
Marilyn Arsem (A.I.R November 2024)- During her stay the artist will be discussing her work with water in Performance Records at Rosendale Theatre November 11, 7p, and develop a body of work with trees, presented in an open studio TIME WITH TREES Saturday, November 16, 1-5p
Performance artist Marilyn Arsem has been creating and performing live events for more than forty years and has presented her work in thirty countries around the globe. Many of her works are durational in nature, minimal in actions and materials, and have been created in response to specific sites, engaging with the immediate landscape and materiality of the location and its history. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, she also teaches performance art workshops internationally. Arsem taught performance art for 27 years at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, establishing an extensive curriculum in visually based performance. In 1975 Arsem founded an artist collaborative for experimentation, now known as Mobius Artists Group, of which she is still a member. A book on her work, Responding to Site: The Performance Work of Marilyn Arsem, edited by Jennie Klein and Natalie Loveless, was published in 2020 by Intellect Books of the UK. Her website is https://marilynarsem.net
Stacy Lynn Smith & Alex Romania (A.I.R July 2024) During their stay they will be developing their collaborative movement-based feature film 'Reckoning'
RECKONING conceptualizes Smith’s autobiography through abstract, non-linear, cinematic and choreographic conversations. Both Smith and Romania have extensive backgrounds in collaboration, improvisation and process as research. RECKONING is a combination of deep research and durational improvisation, utilizing scores and concepts versus set material. Smith and Romania engage in performance/filmic duets within environments, mining discipline-specific practices, synthesizing separate and overlapping research. The process of making the film is the film itself and the technology is the body and place.
