Artists-In-Residence 2019

Lindsay Packer: Call and Response: DEPTH OF FIELD with Melanie Maar

Lindsay Packer premieres DEPTH OF FIELD, her first commissioned work as an ISSUE Artist-In-Residence. Collaborating with dancer and choreographer Melanie Maar, the artists use light, color, repetition, movement & the reverberations that emanate from their movements to define and redefine the space around them.

David Watson performs on the Great Highland Bagpipe and Scottish smallpipes in collaboration with renowned percussionist Tony Buck. Multidisciplinary artist Laura Ortman also presents new work for violin, incorporating over-rosining and heavy use of amplification in her scored and improvised works.

Queer Trash is thrilled to present Madsen Minax, Max Hamel, and Reagan Holiday for an evening of gender blur, noise, abstraction, and intimate electricity. Returning to ISSUE following their 2018 Curatorial Fellowship, Queer Trash presents a varied night of drag, noise, and video.
