Crawl Space

Seattle gallery Crawl Space is seeking artists for their 2009 studio intensive residency: "The resident artist will commit to a full seven days and nights of working and living at Crawl Space. Arriving at the gallery with whatever art-making and survival supplies he or she brings along, the artist will establish a studio workspace and squatting quarters for the week. The resident artist will receive a $500 honorarium but is responsible for all costs of transportation and production beyond that amount. A hot plate, refrigerator, toilet, sink, and air mattress will also be provided. During this week of confinement, the artist is expected to generate completely new works, either as a continuation of a body of work or as a special project or installation. No completed or in-progress works will be admitted. Crawl Space hopes that this confinement to an immersed and unfamiliar art making space will spur the resident artist to break away from characteristic approaches and methods of art making." Submissions are due April 19. Visit their website for details.
