︎︎︎Residency Program 2018
An exhibition of the work developed over the residency month by the participants of Ferrara Residency 2018: Ruth Angel Edwards, Emilia Beatriz, Henry Bradley, Joe Campbell, Callum Hill, Blue Maignien.
With Ferrara Residency 2018 (27 August – 14 October) we invited five artists of interdisciplinary visual and sonic practices who have explored various facets of the city’s history through their own work, events and convivial activities. The presentation at Porta degli Angeli is an opportunity to share the artists’ investigations into sites and stories of Ferrara, as well as experiments within their respective fields of artistic practice.
A Fluid Haze refers to the ecological character of Ferrara, where narratives around the industrialisation of the environment and its aqueous environment have informed the work and dialogues around cycles of waste and renewal; the plastic heritage of the former factory Montedison; sound as a site for cohabitation and care; and countercultures. Visualizations of thoughts, emotions and experiences have been inspired by elusive, yet tangible forms such as the fog, mosquitoes and toxic waste.
The title is also a gesture towards the methodology of the residency itself. A crossing over between self and other, we have worked towards the opening up of our respective disciplines and roles as artists, curators and organisers through sessions of peer review and feedback throughout the month. A Fluid Haze refers to the process of making work itself, in which the residency has sought to value the research process and collective work over the finalisation of art objects themselves.
