Next Kielbasy Residency - March 27 - April 4
The Third Kielbasy Residency will take place from March 27 - April 4, 2010.
Meredith Arena and Julie Sengle will be in residence.
There will be no Open Studio for this residency, because of Easter celebrations.
Julie Sengle is an artist and organizer based in Brooklyn, New York. Her work explores slippages in historical memory, the power of ritual, and the shaping of tradition. She received her Master’s degree in 2004 from New York University, where she investigated modes of human interaction in American art since World War II. She has organized projects at Free Store, a pop-up shop in Lower Manhattan, and at Kleio Projects gallery in the Lower East Side. Her writing can be found in “Dear Someone,” an anthology edited by Jaime Shearn Cohen, and on her blog of feminist, queer, and performance art julessengle.blogspot.com.
While at Kielbasy, Sengle will retrace her grandmother’s youth in the nearby coal mining cities of Forest City and Carbondale, Pennsylvania. She hopes to document the Lithuanian legacy left by the city’s early inhabitants in Forest City and to unearth the activities of Lithuanian Communists who were once active in the area.
Meredith Arena is an artist, teacher, writer and sometimes performer. She has curated group exhibitions and regularly facilitates art projects with children. She has exhibited work in New York, California and Mexico. She currently works with children and families in Bushwick, Brooklyn and facilitates the monthly writers group at The Interdependence Project.
She will be continuing her portrait series, begun at her previous Kielbasy residency.
(Alexis Bhagat will be busy driving Julie and Meredith around, and otherwise will be holed away figuring out his Tax Return.)
