MAIN GALLERY: STUDIO SYSTEMS 3
The Studio Systems Experimental Residency project was a unique attempt to bridge the gap between artistic practice and the public. First held in 2015, Studio Systems seeks to bring the dynamism of the artist's studio into the museum space, encouraging audiences to not only see works as they are in progress but to interact with the artist and their space with aims toward a greater public appreciation of art, artists and public art institutions. Visitors were are encouraged to directly interact with the artists and discuss inspirations, sources, thoughts, feelings, content and context, as well as chart the progression of the works over the 21 day period that the project encompasses.
Artist residents: Arezoo Bharthania (USA/Iran), Deitra Charles (USA), Dimitra Skandali (Greece), John Sollom (USA), HAMSCHOLAR (USA), Raaf van der Sman (NL), Amanda Mears (UK), Eduardo Aispuro (USA)
HAMSCHOLAR members:
Andrew Davis (Hamdrew Davis), Ben Goddard (Hamben Goddard), Tom Newth (Thamos Honey), Dave Glickman (Daveham Glickham), Myles Lasko (Myles Laskham)
The third edition of the Studio System series takes place throughout the month of June 2022 where the selected artists provide a glimpse into their studio practice by taking over TAM’s Main Gallery space.
