ISSUE Project Room is pleased to announce our Artists in Residence for 2011: Okkyung Lee, Nate Wooley, Prince Rama, and James Ilgenfritz.
ISSUE Project Room’s 2012 Artist in Residence program, founded by Suzanne Fiol, has provided a support structure for musical ensembles, composers and sound artists since 2006. Providing four emerging artists with access to ISSUE’s facilities, equipment, PR/marketing, curatorial and technical expertise, the AIR program offers artists an opportunity to develop significant new works in partnership with ISSUE over the course of the year, cultivating long-term relationships within the organization and the greater cultural community. Artists are given a stipend for three events occurring throughout the 2011 calendar year. During the course of their residency, ISSUE curators will also mentor each selected artist in the development of his or her projects. Funds can be used for the purchasing of equipment, the creation of new works, research, travel and/or personal development.
