Hot Shop Residency

Resident Artists: Kelsey Issel, Meryl Pataky

Antigravity Residency
The Antigravity Residency supports the development of suspended and site-responsive works that explore gravity as both a material force and conceptual collaborator. The residency centers experimentation, embodied making, and spatial inquiry, encouraging artists to push neon beyond the wall and into three-dimensional space.

Resident artists are commissioned by The Rockwell Museum to create and exhibit a new work over the course of the year. In addition, the Corning Museum of Glass provides a dedicated 10-day residency granting access to the hot shop and the Rakow Research Library, supporting both material experimentation and archival research.
