Resident Residency, an artist residency program begun in January 2014, invites artists to participate in their respective Portland, Oregon, neighborhood association meetings as a context for developing participatory public artworks. Artists work as organizers, researchers, activists and fellow neighbors to create projects that are engaging, playful, and thought provoking in their own communities.
The Resident Residency (RR) is an independent artist organized, citywide project. It values artists staying home to focus on the place and people where they live. The Resident Residency artists are Katy Asher (Arbor Lodge), Ariana Jacob (Piedmont), Khris Soden (Buckman), Krista Connerly (Woodstock), Mack McFarland (Piedmont) and Linda Wysong in Sabin.
Artist Linda Wysong is the artist in residence for the Sabin Neighborhood. Sabin is a small neighborhood and this RR is only one of the 6 residencies happening over the city of Portland. We are collaborating and working individually. Check out the project web site for "Piggy-Back" events, notifications and most importantly, information neighborhoods and participants.
