Living In The Play: nido II is an international consortium of artists living and working in Monte Castello di Vibio, Italy, during a two week artist residency culminating in an exhibition of artworks. Exhibition: August 24 – August 26.
During this residency, the group individually and collectively explored the social historical landscape, use of land resources, and the hidden histories of Monte Castello di Vibio and the surrounding region. Their journeys to the mummified forest at Dunarobba, the dying city of Civita di Bagnoregio, Sanctuary of the Madonna del Bagni, the cathedral of Santa Chiara, the Basilica of St. Francesco, the Hermitage of the Friars of St Francis, the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli – and more – have guided their conversations and contributed to the making practices of each artist.
This residency is in partnership with the International Center for the Arts in Monte Castello di Vibio and the Poor Farm Experiment in rural Wisconsin, USA, the latter of which has hosted Living In the Play since 2018. The goal of this residency is to gather artists through intentional actions that explore the contingent nature of hosting and gathering in rural environments, locating the fleeting and the reverberating substances particular to the moment of temporary, intentional assembly. Using the “artist residency,” a reliably liminal site, as a platform for inquiry and play – the site of the residency becomes a “stage” or “field” that can collapse forms from daily life, the studio, and the event to produce a living and working space that builds on the natural byproducts of the shared experience (responsiveness) towards a cumulative public occurrence (resonance). In this sense, Material Girl is an exhibition of works which have been composed from the experiences, conversations, images, and materials gathered during the residency.
