This winter Parent Company is excited to shift its programming from an exhibition space to a studio residency for artists whose work is based in installation and/or performance with an emphasis on site-responsive practices. The gallery space will change its focus from display to production, giving two residents the chance to work in the space for a six-week period. The residency will culminate in a final installation and an open studio-style event. This allows artists whose work defies objecthood and conventional market-driven definitions to have more space to show and engage with audiences.

DATES:

Session 1: January 3 - February 16, 2024

Session 2: February 21 - March 29, 2024
