Outbuilding Discourses (In Various Spirits)

Grand Rapids, Michigan (2012)

✳ Micro-Residency


While living in my car during my Saturn return, I developed and facilitated a temporary micro-residency program situated within and around Geoffrey Holstad and Sarah Darnell's carriage house (carport) in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As a collaboratively-directed time Together, it served as a springboard for microcosmic cultural production and experimentation in deliberate proximity. Residency sessions ran from June 26-July 10, 2012 and lasted a minimum of three hours each. Nothing but good company was provided. The archive of projects and residents is located here.
