ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

Every year Light Work invites between twelve and fifteen artists to come to Syracuse to devote one month to creative projects. Over 360 artists have participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program, and many of them have gone on to achieve international acclaim.

The 2012 line-up of Artists-in-Residence includes: Karen Miranda-Rivadeneira, Aspen Mays, Shimon Attie, Justyna Badach, Claire Beckett, Michael Bühler-Rose, Raymond Meeks, Nate Larson & Marni Shindelman, Irina Rozovsky, Heidi Kumao, John Freyer, John Chervinsky, Valerio Spada, and Brijesh Patel. We are now accepting applications for residencies in 2013.

The residency includes a $4,000 stipend, a furnished artist apartment, 24-hour access to our state-of-the-art facilities, and generous staff support. Work by each Artist-in-Residence is published in a special edition of Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual along with an essay commissioned by Light Work. Work by former Artists-in-Residence is also part of the Light Work Collection.

Applications to the AIR program are accepted throughout the year. Please see the How to Apply section for details on our facility and the application instructions.

Jeremy Deller: Joy in People at the ICA

September 19 through December 30, 2012

OPENING NIGHT EVENTS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012:

5PM EXHIBITION WALKTHROUGH WITH CURATOR RALPH RUGOFF, ICA MEMBERS AND DONORS ONLY
6:30PM ARTIST TALK BY JEREMY DELLER, FREE FOR ALL
7:30-10PM PARTY, FREE FOR ALL

The ICA is pleased to present Jeremy Deller: Joy in People, the first mid-career survey of this unpredictable, generative, and vibrant artist. Hugely influential, Jeremy Deller (b. 1966, London; lives London) has helped to rewrite the rules of contemporary art over the past two decades by putting people at the center of his work. Operating as forums for discussion, display, and social interactions of all kinds, this work is disarmingly democratic in its muddling of class and cultural hierarchies. The sheer delight Deller takes in various forms of sub and folk cultures—Goth style, Manchester music, pro wrestling, street parades, and historical reenactment societies—transmits itself with a sense of awe at the creativity and zeal with which people resist mainstream values and patterns of consumption. His work explores compelling social territories, while the artist himself variously assumes the roles of artistic producer, publisher, filmmaker, collaborator, curator, parade organizer, and cultural archivist. Joy in People offers an important opportunity for American viewers to experience the work of one of Britain's most significant artists.

PPAC Philly Photo Day, October 26, 2012

Andrew Weiss for Philly Photo Day, 2011

Philly Photo Day 2012 will take place on October 26th.  On that day, everyone in the city is invited to take a photograph of whatever you like.  We’ll print and hang every single picture for a unique exhibition capturing a day in the life of Philadelphia.

This year, we’ll reach out to local community centers, providing cameras and teaching artists to a wide range of people.  These artists will teach photography basics like lighting and composition, help participants select their best photos and submit them to PPAC, ensuring widespread access to Philly Photo Day.

And it gets even better.  Select images will be placed on Septa buses and trains and even on billboards.  One of those images could be yours!

There are only three rules to Philly Photo Day.

1. 1. The photograph MUST be taken on October 26, 2012.

2.2. The photograph MUST be taken in Philadelphia.

3.3. You may only submit ONE photograph per person.

You’ll upload your photograph right here on our website, but you won’t be able to do it until October 26th.
