FRIEND OF A FRIEND 5 TO 9 RESIDENCY

CHORT OF 1 JUNE OF 2022

FOAF is provisional and hopefully itinerant space located in the recently renovated Evans School Building in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Our mission is to invigorate and challenge Denver’s art community. Our program of short-term exhibitions dually highlights local artists and exposes the community to new persons and practices by bringing in the work of national and international artists. Co-Directed by artist Derrick Velasquez and art historian Lauren Hartog, FOAF hopes to act as a bottle rocket that ascends quickly into the atmosphere exploding and coming to an end in a shower of beautiful yet temporary sparks.

THIS RESIDENCY WAS ALL ABOUT PICKING UP WHERE I LEFT OFF...

I wanted to focus my time during this month long residency to reflect on the work I started in France during my La Napoule residency a month or two before. So here I focused on pulling things together and synthesizing everything I collected.
