KOLAJ INSTITUTE NEWS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kolaj Institute Announces First Artist Archive Resident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zach Collins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Kolaj Institute Artist Archive Residency is a three-month program during which the Institute and the artist work together to document the artist’s biography, practice, and career. Unlike a residency where the artist travels to a destination, the Artist Archive Residency is a residency-in-place, meaning the artist remains in their home community, but works intensively with the Kolaj Institute during a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coordinator Christopher Kurts will be working with Zach Collins from January to March 2020 to create a timeline of their artistic career and the biographical details that shaped it. “We hope to tell Zach\u2019s story and how he evolved as an artist, while at the same time creating a searchable archive of his life and work,” said Kurts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOLLOW THE RESIDENCY
The public can follow the progress of the residency as material and links are added to Collins’ listing in the Kolaj Magazine Artist Directory<\/a>. Kurts will make periodic posts on Kolaj Magazine’s social media about the residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end result of the Artist Archive Residency is a book and an exhibition plan for a mid-career retrospective. The books and exhibitions generated from the Artist Archive Residency program provide a deep, insightful look at an artist’s life and work and how they have contributed to collage as a medium, genre, community, and art movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
