Summer 2012 Skowhegan application deadline > 02/01/2012

The Skowhegan 2012 application is now open. Click HERE to begin.

http://www.skowheganart.org/

Skowhegan’s 2012 session will take place from June 9-August 11.The 2012 application deadline is February 1, 2012 at 11:59 PM (E.S.T.). Skowhegan, in both its physical and programmatic design, provides opportunities for intense work and creative direction. Because the program focuses on process and experimentation, Participants are encouraged to come prepared to work without a preconceived agenda or schedule. The program requires Participants to commit to being in residence for the full nine-week session from mid-June to mid-August, and absences from the program to fulfill other professional commitments are not permitted. All Participants, Faculty, and staff live and work on campus and are provided with studio space and technical support for their work. The artistic dialogue continues around the clock. Skowhegan’s Board of Governors, all working artists, invites a new faculty of Resident and Visiting Artists to campus each year to guarantee a diversity of perspectives. These artists are highly accomplished and represent a cross-section of the contemporary art world. The structure of Skowhegan’s program is provided by regular one-on-one critiques given to each Participant by the Faculty, and through the series of lectures given by the Faculty over the summer. Participants also gather weekly for open critiques led by a Dean. Skowhegan also offers the rare opportunity to learn and practice buon fresco technique. In the context of Skowhegan’s program, fresco offers an opportunity to explore a rich and ancient process that can inspire and accommodate a broad range of contemporary ideas. All Participants and Faculty members are encouraged to experiment in this medium with the guidance of an experienced instructor. Performances, reading groups, discussions, and community and off-campus projects initiated by Participants comprise an important part of the Skowhegan experience and are encouraged and supported.

Paul Bloodgood, Painting Department speaker, Th 01/19/2012, 7:30 pm Alex auditorium

Please join us for our first visiting artist of the winter quarter, Paul Bloodgood this Thursday, January 19th at 7:30 pm in the Alexander Hall auditorium.

After receiving a B.A. in painting at Yale University in 1982, he spent four years living and painting in rural parts of Maine and New Hampshire. He moved to the Lower East Side in 1986. For five years he worked for an artist-owned art moving company and in 1990 (along with his fellow art-movers) was a co-founder and the curator of New York’s influential AC Project Room, an artist-run commercial gallery that introduced the work of many significant young artists such as Byron Kim, Doug Aitken, Luca Buvoli, Josiah McElheny, Jane and Louis Wilson, and Anne Chu, as well as unrepresented older artists such as Mary Beth Edelson, Kim Jones, Robert Breer, Michel Auder, and Isa Genzken. In the 1990s his work was shown in New York at both Gavin Brown’s enterprise and 303 Gallery, during which time he also made an artist’s book of his text collages for Matthew Higgs’ ‘Imprint 93′ publishing project. The AC Project Room closed in 2001 and Paul Bloodgood focused on his own work and teaching, and in 2002 received a MFA from the Maine College of Art. He has taught at Tyler School of Art, Rutgers University and Cooper Union. In 2002 he also began working as a colorist for Martha Stewart Omni Media, and in 2003 developed a 350 color interior house paint palette, based on Paul Klee’s color systems developed at the Bauhaus. The project was finished in 2006 and is now at Loews Home Centers across the country. In 2007 his work was shown at the White Columns Annual, selected by Clarissa Dalrymple. In 2008 he showed in a three-person show at David Zwirner, a group show at Wilkinson Gallery in London curated by Matthew Higgs, and in a two-person show with Michel Auder at Newman-Popiashvili Gallery, He was also commissioned by Bomb Magazine to create a five-page text-collage for the cover of its fall 2008 literary supplement, “First Proof.”  In 2010, Bloodgood had a solo show, Thing Language, at the Newman-Popiashvilli Gallery in NewYork, and in 2011, took part in a group show with Anne Chu and Michel Auder at the Galerie Michael Janssen in Berlin, Germany. He will have a solo show at the Galerie Michael Janssen in 2012.
