Dunu Camper: Garden-based Micro Artist Residency

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

The Dunu Camper is back at the Open Kitchen Sculpture Garden for its second year hosting artists in residence. We are excited to build from what we learned and keep activating opportunities for artists to have access to a unique neighborhood garden space for making work, hosting events, and connecting with materials and plants in this unique sculptural environment. The artist would have semi-private access for 3 weeks to use the camper as a micro studio workspace, and access to the garden as a source of inspiration, relaxation and cultivation.

This year we are looking to host up to 3 residents for up to 3 weeks at a time between June through October 1, 2024.

Participants will be encouraged to contribute to the creative community by being part of biweekly potlucks, community events and helping water the garden. Some simple art making, storytelling, gardening and building tools will be provided. We are not set up for overnight guests at this time, but artists would have fairly unrestricted access during their stay.

The residency is flexible and open so that artists can work within the environment in hopes that this will spark something new or offer a moment of renewal or connection for those who participate. The residency also presents an opportunity to collaborate with Termite TV (termite.org) an experimental video collective, so if you're interested in making work that might become part of a video or installation- we always welcome working with poets, musicians and media artists interested in community based collaboration.

This residency is a collaboration between the host site, Open Kitchen Sculpture Garden (https://theopenkitchensculpturegarden.com/) and Pedro Ospina, with the creative support of Termite TV Collective. Residency is designed and managed by Laura Deutch.

Open Kitchen Sculpture Garden is located at 2241 N Philip St (near American & Dauphin St).

There is a limited bathroom onsite and no internet access. There is limited power in the camper for charging devices, running a fan and lights. The Garden runs off of solar and therefore power tools are also limited. There is drinking water onsite.

Currently, the Residency is not paid, but artists may have access to a stipend to cover costs of hosting a workshop or event.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until filled.
