PROJECTS - 2016
Santa Fe Art Institute Partnership
LAAW and the Santa Fe Art Institute partnered for the 2016 SFAI Water Rights Residency. This provided opportunities to build solidarity and cross-pollinate concepts and creative practices related to bioregional water issues. LAAW selected three SFAI Resident artists/collectives to travel during Field Investigations in order for each to pursue bioregional research and become a part of the LAAW cohort. These artists included Joerael Elliot, Ruth Le Gear, Annie Danis, and Andrea Steves (FICTILUS). SFAI invited LAAW artists to three conversational gatherings with residents. LAAW artists also presented at SFAI140, an evening of 20 talks, 140 seconds each. Finally, LAAW artists, faculty, and SFAI visiting residents worked together to create a one-night, participatory Water Rights collaboration, called Tibutaries, at the SFAI gallery.
