The Artist in Research program seeks to support artists involved in the
early 
stages of projects that require investigation, dialogue, and support from an

artistic community.  The AIR Program is particularly interested in working 
with artists whose work explores contemporary and experimental genres such
as 
electronics, sound, installation, performance, film, video, and other
time-based 
media. The AIR Program supports projects that have already been 
conceptualized, but need time, money and critical feedback to complete. 

This residency is most appropriate for individuals or groups who wish to 
explore the potential for collaboration and creative exchange with peers
working 
in a wide range of media.  Regularly scheduled critiques, open studios,
closing 
events and our web forum provide residents with opportunities for critical 
feedback from curators, artists, scholars and members of the public. Artists
in 
Research are encouraged to focus their efforts on exploration and the 
processes of  innovative art-making rather than the completion of a finished
product. 

Please visit the "AIR" section of www.berwickinstitute.org <
http://www.berwickinstitute.org/>  to learn more about past AIR artists and
the types of 
projects we are interested in and are able to support. 

Research Term Logistics: 

In order to provide artists the necessary time to fully explore their 
projects, the AIR Program provides three artists or collaborative groups
with 
ten-week residencies each year.  During each residency, AIR artists are
granted a 
12x12 raw space within a communal studio that houses three other artists.
The 
studio is located in Dudley Square, a developing minority-majority
neighborhood 
in Boston, Massachusetts. Each artist is given 24-hour access to the studio,

an $1250 stipend (this is the norm, though the exact amount is dependant on 
grants pending), media attention and regular studio visits by the
co-curators and 
invited guests for on-going critical feedback. The residencies are bookended

with events that invite the public in for a glimpse of the artist's previous

work, art-making process and research during the residency. 

Past artists have given public lectures, school tours, weekend workshops,
and 
closing presentations. These events allow the artist to test their ideas in 
dialogue with other artists, curators and the general public. 

Each Artist in Research is provided with a multi-media online journal on the

Berwick Research Institute's website and is expected to keep detailed 
documentation of their research.  At the end of each residency, the artist
is required 
to produce a final report documenting their experience and describing their 
findings during their residency. This report will be included in an annual 
multi-media publication created by the Berwick to highlight each AIR artist.
The 
publication will be widely distributed throughout Boston. 

Dates of Residencies:

1. April 1 - June 15
2. July 1 - September 15
3. October 1 - December 15
