Coming to an end…a short but sweet look at the week: Leipzig Residency – Part 6
By Krista Smith (MFA 2014) The past couple of weeks here have flown by. Between painting, panting in our stifling rooms, and making quick escapes to the lake, we managed to put together a great end of summer show. We all crawled out of our studios to help clean and hang the work alongside Kristina and Mareika (interns of LIA)… Read More
Cospudener & The Bauhaus: Leipzig Residency, Part 5
By Shangkai (Kevin) Yu (MFA 2014) It is my feeling that it would be important to make a post that reflects our time here accurately. Beer drinking, sausage eating, lake swimming, grass and beach napping, museum visiting, and painting are our life in Leipzig. Before going on to the museums and general art talk, here are two pictures that sum… Read More
Ancient Artifacts, Temple Ruins and 248 Stairs: Mexico City Residency, Part 2
By Garrett Cook (MFA 2014) It’s been an eventful couple of weeks since my last update. Two weeks ago I misstepped and sprained my foot, rendering me unable to walk for a couple days. It’s certainly a little frightening suddenly finding yourself immobile in a foreign country where you barely speak the language! Thanks to Motrin, bandage wraps and ice,… Read More
The Leipzig Residency is–as we would say in Jamaica–‘irie’ (great!): Leipzig Residency, Part 4
By Alicia Brown (MFA 2014) It has been 34 days since we entered the gates of the Spinnerei, and every day from that moment has been a pinch-me experience. Waking up in the mornings to the sound of Neo Rauch working in his studio (located above the large studio space I share with Krista Smith) is definitely my alarm clock… Read More
Dream Land: Leipzig Residency, Part 3
By Tim Buckley (MFA 2014) Welcome to Halle 18 @ The Spinnerei Dream Land. This is dream land. The time is flying by here in Leipzig. Our first month is nearly up, and the experience has so far exceeded any expectations I might have had. To bring everyone up to speed, I’ll quickly list a few very important things in… Read More
Escapades into the Wild: China Residency, Part 4
By Zoë Sua-Kay After three weeks centered largely around the Shanghai vicinity, the time had come to be whisked away into the Chinese unknown. Traveling with a busload of Chinese printmaking students and several members of the Shanghai University faculty, we drove for nine hours out of the city and through some of the most breathtaking scenery we had ever… Read More
