Artists in residence are invited to wander through Red Clay’s orchards, stream beds, forests, hills, meadows, and shorelines to make their work in whichever location they are most drawn to. White Rabbit emphasizes process, encouraging artists to treat their work as a malleable, living thing, taking shape in response to the land and the residency’s annual theme.
Worlding is to unfold a future from a chosen present and storied past.
This year, White Rabbit calls on you to explore new ecologies, creatures and critters, societies, ontologies, ways of reframing, unshaming, thing-naming, reclaiming. Worlding is a becoming of the imagined through story, belief, simulation, and care. Bring us your artifacts, lead us to your portals... Red Clay is a place for your worlds to unfurl.
Worlding is a loose jumping off point for a project. Artists of all practices are encouraged to apply; textiles, dance, theatre, ceramics, paint, poetry, philosophy, audio, projection, film, performance, you-name-it. The most important thing is a willingness to engage with the land and other artists, developing a conversation between your process and chosen site. Worlding particularly encourages installation work intended for interaction; work that defines a world to be entered, transformed, considered, or manifested.
