The Winter Residency

The Transart faculty and students just finished up the winter residency, held at Like The Spice Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. It was great to see classmates and to get such a comprehensive overview of what everyone is working on. The weekend was comprised primarily of critiques, but also included a wonderful presentation by guest speaker Coco Fusco, in which she discussed her recent work Operation Atropos, which was a collaboration with the military to produce work that addressed the issues surrounding torture and detention. 

Over four days we reviewed the work of our colleagues and presented our own work for critique -- the feedback kicks us into the winter term and that momentum should take us into the summer residency slated to happen in Berlin.

The last day of the residency I met with Scott and Sarah and we went to City Bakery to get their amazing hot chocolate and toast happy endings. 

On the way there we stumbled upon the flash mob Improv Everywhere that staged their event No Pants on the Subway.  What a great way to finish a weekend in the city.
