Felicia arrived May 20th and will be in residence at the barn for ten days to draw and record sounds and images in the surrounding environment. She will show her work in progress at the end of the residency at an open studio event.<br /><br />Félicia Atkinson is travelling coast to coast across the U.S. for four months with a fellowship from the French program <i>Villa Medicis Hors Les Murs</i>, collecting sounds, images and thoughts during her trip. So far she has been in Chicago, where she performed at the Museum of Contmeporary Art, Brooklyn and Gallatin. Félicia is working on two commissions: a sound piece for French public radio and a video for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Montreal. Further travels will take her to performances in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles.<br /><br /></div><div>Félicia’s work is inspired by two ways of thinking: the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy of the unfinished, and the lo-fi and psychedelic improvisations in music and drawing. Imperfections, improvisation, repetition, raw materials, folk culture, minimal art, travel, translation, contemplation, are the materials of her body of work which includes performance, writing, music, drawing, and photography.<br /><br />Find out about Félicia Atkinson and her work at www.feliciaatkinson.be<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSTxIC7TdWm083EQNQOT76ZZ0K8immT2waURpzIZC_kA3gva4zgakFjXpmgIGCzq-H3O2TbHROaKheclHpDyWw9k4cx72QwrnoZgMI4PfNy3cWTQTKVXQUGthaR1NNijMYgZz95hDHwc/s1600/fa.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div>Rural Projectshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724222156089989992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930641677306191611.post-45488238709202764752009-07-23T12:00:00.000-07:002010-05-23T15:35:15.321-07:00Summer 2009 - Mel SkluzacekMel Skluzacek was our first Bartering resident.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Martine Kaczynski’s work explores the vernacular architecture of the American landscape. Last year she created a replica of a disused gas station alongside County Route 11. Now, with the technical assistance of Christopher Werner she has converted the structure into an outdoor movie theatre powered by solar energy .<br /><br />The gas station is not simply a structural icon representing speed, mobility, and power but signifies the current debate surrounding the search for alternative energy sources. Kaczynski sees these structures as future relics and has taken the opportunity to convert her structure into a venue utilizing renewable energy, emphasizing her vision that such structures will eventually be used for diverse purposes.<br /><br />Please join us for our first solar screening, Saturday, August 23rd, 8:30pm. Refreshments will be served. Call in advance for reservations: 518-851-7528 or 518-567-9401. Free transportation from Hudson is available. Call for more details.<br /><br /><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; display: block; height: 214px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474586523970320786" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyVJTLRP4ZmqXQKo5hRbqU6SzWtim39tr9mXThePIc_4Br6pfPLo5pEWI_FLqTk5AoYR_itTHhsTL6gjIWEgVo7s8h-bZbMAvxdMCM5ls55EERSIO69X1Lhx3aEn3AYLNdkNgNbRD508Q/s320/rp_cinema2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; display: block; height: 214px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474586520809900882" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyphenhyphensfdn3evW7MoFf4adLd5Agnr7EwXypVzMMEJ-qX1eK81kA9Ssx3UxizKbgipI_Z456f9RC6gopSRWxneAKfA8tdSkPaFL0SyKjvQWstJ-ZmDNsEwujKxWboSy2q5jqdwbxU3Bd7GAYA/s320/rp_cinema3.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div></div>Rural Projectshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724222156089989992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930641677306191611.post-10639660289060662862007-10-20T18:15:00.000-07:002010-05-23T13:43:15.557-07:00Summer 2007 - Martine Kaczynski<div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474568003382165906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1QeI9bUUJCudzde0dmvrqZaTk5bjPJKXpnp1AcmJbujuOrZWpzfrwBqOtD58FmSmBMc5uotAqWvntKb_rGqS04Ase18-rctLpuqZfkYlnYA19__2PmJxJecIWPEGPBTuPeWPPY0_VYfQ/s320/Martine.jpg" /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ruralprojects.greglock.com/snow.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 507px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 281px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://ruralprojects.greglock.com/snow.jpg" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474568011162102386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIY5k3_rLN515Fu7K67NKN09om1dj22_5W9f6RRz3avUaom6FjtPjUAghHB4r1T4Rx3Wqvw9-GHcZHvpNLFXUlNGd2y8xW1rCbe-vtBeY1haxRys44b-0WB_zZ_Z7o1eFDt6_4DxyEU4/s320/MK_wip1.jpg" />British born, Brooklyn based artist Martine Kaczynski inaugurated the Rural Projects artist in residence program with an ambitious site-specific installation.</div>Rural Projectshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724222156089989992noreply@blogger.com0
