Determining Value and Artist Residencies
KODA’s professional development seminar program invites practicing artists to benefit from four comprehensive online seminars covering the essential business skills they need to grow their career. In 2022 KODA partnered up with Residency Unlimited (RU) to provide insightful and practical sessions, each lasting 45 min + 10 min Q&A, led by interdisciplinary artist Zachary Fabri, independent curator and online gallery owner Krista Scenna, artist and art handling specialist Lydia Goldbeck, and mixed-media artist and legacy & archive expert Antonia A. Perez.
Seminar #1: Determining Value and Artist Residencies by Zachary Fabri
How does an art practice benefit from attending a residency? From his experiences attending a variety of artist residencies, interdisciplinary artist Zachary Fabri shares insights about their impact on art making and their value in cultivating sustainable creative communities.
About Zachary Fabri: Zachary Fabri is an interdisciplinary artist engaged in lens-based media, language systems, and the built environment. Often complicating the boundaries of studio research, site-specific performance, and social practice, Fabri has immersed himself in environments such as Target stores, the Trump Soho Hotel, Philadelphia streets, and Frieze London Live. This context specificity often yields work that includes drawing, photography, video, performance, installation, and sound art. Fabri’s work has been exhibited at Art in General, The Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, The Walker Art Center, The Brooklyn Museum, The Barnes Foundation, and Performa. With the collective Dark Adaptive, he has collaborated in projects at the Museum of Modern Art, the Sharjah Biennial, and Pace gallery. He is the recipient of the 2020 Colene Brown Art Prize and will be completing a BRIClab Video Art residency. In 2021, he completed a solo project at Recess Art and also participated in the Residency Unlimited NYC-Based Artist Residency which culminated in a group exhibition at the Andrew Freedman Home. Fabri will be presenting a solo exhibition at Cue Art Foundation in spring 2022 and is currently an artist in residence at International Studio & Curatorial Program in Brooklyn.
