    Image of my steel sculpture maquette as a free standing, larger installation in a desert setting that complements the natural iron patina. The symbolic shape acts as a tilted window that subtlety asserts itself in every direction as a frame to view the landscape, ground and sky, while the thinnest angle reveals itself as a hourglass shape of time uniting past and future with earth and cosmos, Ideal placement would align major axis with north-south line to frame both sunset and sunrise, making the limits of day tangible.

    2017 Mitchell Artist Lecture featuring The Yes Men

    The Mitchell Center presents artists and activists The Yes Men!

    Join the
    University of Houston Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts for the 2017
    Mitchell Artist Lecture, a landmark public program that annually features major
    figures in the world of artistic collaboration. This year’s speakers are
    artists and political activists,     Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno,
    known together as The Yes Men.     They've
    been doing "identity correction" or "laughtivism" for
    nearly two decades. By impersonating leaders and big corporations who put
    profits ahead of everything else, The Yes Men publicly humiliate them and
    expose their criminal practices. They've made three award-winning feature films
    about their actions, and gained international notoriety for impersonating big
    businesses on international TV and conferences around the world.

    About the
    Mitchell Artist Lecture

    The annual Mitchell Artist Lecture features individuals emblematic of artistic
    collaboration and innovation. Each fall, a leading artist discusses the power
    and potential of interdisciplinary collaboration to a combined audience of
    university community and the greater public.

     

    About the Mitchell Center

    The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for
    the Arts is dedicated to interdisciplinary collaboration across the performing,
    visual and literary arts. Based in the University of Houston Kathrine G.
    McGovern College of the Arts, the Mitchell Center commissions and produces new
    works, presents public performances and exhibitions, offers scholarships, and
    hosts residencies with renowned visiting artists from throughout the world. In
    addition to the Mitchell Artist Lecture, the center produces CounterCurrent, an
    annual spring festival of new performance. The Mitchell Center forms an alliance
    among five departments at UH: the School of Art, Moores School of Music, School
    of Theatre & Dance, Creative Writing Program and Blaffer Art Museum. The
    Center was created in late 2003 with a gift from George Mitchell in honor of
    his wife, Cynthia Woods Mitchell, whose long-standing love of the arts was so
    evident throughout her life.

    NARS International Residency Open Call

    NARS is now accepting applications for the International Residency Program from international and US based artists. The NARS residency supports emerging and mid-career artists and curators working across all disciplines through three and six-month residencies, creating a space for artistic dialogue and international cultural exchange for an extended period of time. 

    NARS offers 24/7 access to furnished, private or semi-private studio spaces (280-325 sq ft) in our diverse artist community in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. As a studio based residency, the focus is on the artistic process and the experimentation that results from working alongside other artists, within New York's cultural and sociopolitical context. 

    Artists meet with 4-6 studio visitors each month, gaining invaluable feedback and expanding their network of artists and professionals in NY and internationally. Residents are provided with administrative, curatorial, and professional support to explore and expand the scope of their artistic practice through research, dialogue, and the production of new projects.

    Public presentation opportunities include a curated exhibition in the NARS gallery, bi-annual Open Studios, and theEntree/Encore program, through which artists share research and work through artist talks, discussions, screenings, workshops, and performances. The NARS Gallery hosts exhibitions year-round.


    Residency artists benefit from a community driven program and ongoing dialogue with fellow residency artists through weekly informal gatherings, inter-studio visits and activities, as well as monthly field trips and meals together. At NARS, residents also have the advantage of working alongside 60 emerging and established NYC based artists in our studio facilities, who retain space year round. The program and facilities are designed to form a community, foster the expansion and exchange of artistic and cultural practices, and provide artists with exposure to New York and its art scene. 

    Accepting applications from international artists for a 3 or 6 month residency in 2018-9 and from US-based artists for the Winter and Spring 2018 seasons.
