Residencies Reflected

'Residencies Reflected' examines international artist residencies through a societal and ecological lens, highlighting the experimental and creative freedom they foster and their roles in addressing ecological crises. It explores the information residencies generate about places, environments, and communities, alongside their artistic, poetic, psychological, and social significance. A key aim of this book is to reveal the often-invisible creative processes behind artworks born during residencies. Through nine essays and one interview, curators, artists, and academics delve into the potential of residencies as spaces for community and artistic development. Edited by Irmeli Kokko, the publication is produced by Saari Residence in collaboration with Mousse Publishing.
