STUDIO RESIDENCY SUMMER 2026

Parent Company is pleased to announce the artists selected as the recipients of this year's Studio Residency Program. This program attracted an incredibly impressive pool of applicants. After careful consideration, two outstanding artists working collaboratively were selected for this unique opportunity. More details on the application process can be found here.

The Studio Residency Program is designed to provide emerging artists working in installation or performance with a dedicated space to explore and develop their artistic practice. Over the course of the eight-week residency, these artists will work out of the gallery space, hosting public programming and events, and create a culminating installation.

Throughout the residency, Parent Company will work closely with the selected artists to facilitate opportunities for public engagement, collaboration, and artistic growth. The community is invited to follow the progress of the residents through regular updates on our website and social media.

We are proud to introduce the 2026 Studio Residency Program recipients, Blinn and Lambert, the collaborative duo of Nicholas Steindorf and Kyle Williams.

Working across optical media, installation, and projected light, Blinn and Lambert’s work investigates how images can articulate time, materiality, and presence. Rooted in a shared background in painting, their practice extends the pictorial gesture into moving-image forms. Together, they have created 16mm animations, 35mm slide projections, and stereoscopic shadow works, each exploring the poetic possibilities of a technology through simple, silent objects.

UPCOMING EVENT 

Wave at night by Blinn and Lambert 
Opening Wednesday, August 19, 2026 from 6–8pm

The installation will also be on view during open hours from 11am-6pm on Thursday, August 20, Friday, August 21, and Saturday, August 22.

Wave at night is a site-specific installation that speaks to themes of stillness, incremental change, and passages through architectural space. The work consists of a 35mm slide projection and 7 x 22 foot canvas screen, obliquely running the length of Parent Company’s lower level. The slide carousel projects a series of abstract folded forms onto the screen. Each projected image is a 20-second drawing created by moving a camera with an open shutter. The work's 12 slides advance at five-minute intervals, creating a patient, rhythmic clock.
