This residency program supports artists working with photography or video who are interested in fostering a studio practice through critical engagement, while also accessing state-of-the-art photo and video equipment and facilities. Practices of all kinds are welcome, including multimedia, interdisciplinary and experimental modes of work. Through the support of SVA's distinguished faculty and network, participants are encouraged to push their practice to the next level-aesthetically, conceptually and technically.
Hosted by the BFA Photography and Video Department, the residency offers artists the opportunity to utilize an array of professional photography and video resources, both digital and analog. Amenities include full frame, medium- and large-format cameras; digital labs with professional large-format printers and high-end film scanners; analog black-and-white darkrooms and an alternative process lab; fully equipped photo studios and industry-standard lighting equipment; and video and sound recording equipment, along with a dedicated video editing suite.
The program is taught by a distinguished faculty who work in photography and video from a variety of perspectives, including those that are interdisciplinary and intersect with other media. Faculty will discuss each participant's work on an individual basis, as well as facilitate group critiques. Guest lectures from artists, curators, critics and industry professionals will provide additional insights. Faculty and lecturers have included Vince Aletti, Ellen Brooks, Elinor Carucci, Jessica Craig-Martin, Joseph Maida and Penelope Umbrico. Practical workshops on using specific facilities and equipment will be offered, and staff technicians are available for assistance and technical support. The program culminates in an exhibition.
This course is graded on a pass/fail system. A portfolio is required for review and acceptance to this program. Participants will be held responsible for payment of any loss, theft or damage incurred to the equipment. For all off-premise checkouts and general usage of certain equipment, residents are required to provide proof of insurance before having access. SVA provides information on affordable insurance plans.
