  • Description

    PLATFORM DISPLICO (meaning “we unfold together”) is collaboratively designed and built with John Corrigan and Christopher dela Pole as a modular structure to house residency events for visual artists. Once built, the itinerant structure made of basic construction panels can flatpack down and re-assemble in another location. At roughly 10’x12’, it can host multiple visual artists at once, providing well-lit wall, floor, and table studio situations, film projection, deck and outdoor space. We’ll undergo a ten-day pilot residency, engaging local residents, other area artists and publics, and culminate in a publication encapsulating the project for free dissemination. We center practices of conviviality, honest inquiry, rigour, risk-taking, learning and unlearning.
