Christiana Updegraff
Cooler Room Artist in Residence April/May "My current body of work is inspired by time, loss, uncertainty, fear, corporeal deterioration, and stagnation. I am particularly engaged with objects of human comfort in conjunction with imagery of emptiness and decay. During my time at Art Produce, I will be exploring impressions of domestic items and gendered objects which have been donated from local parents and caregivers." Learn more. |

Colin Choy Kimzey
Cooler Room Artist in Residence June/July Using the garden as inspiration, the artist will create a series of silkscreen posters exploring the radical possibilities and internationalist resonances of urban agriculture. Staged as an inside-out exhibition set against the backdrop of the garden itself, passerby will be able to take free artworks from stacks of multiples and carry them across the city where they can take root in other contexts.

Melanie Taylor
Cooler Room Artist in Residence August/September "During the residency I will create a series of drawings from observation and related interpretive works of local urban trees. The drawings will be portraits of individual trees and tree groups, aiming to bring awareness to their character and significance in our environment. Through the drawings I hope to encourage knowledge of urban horticulture and its role in reducing effects of pollution and environmental stress while improving physical and mental health."

Michelle DeLong
Community Room Artist in Residence August/September "I plan to create, edit and publish a zine that celebrates the work of Art Produce residents across genres. The zine, which will have more in common with an art object than a literary journal or commercial publication, is anchored in a deep sense of place and aims to tell the story of the artistic community thriving in San Diego. It will include (but is not limited to) illustration, short story, poetry, flash fiction, essay, comics, collage, photography, and hybrid forms." Learn more. 
Talia Isaacson
Cooler Room Artist in Residence June/July The word “heirloom” derives from the Middle English words “heir” and “loom” — which, together, describe a tool or implement passed down from one generation to another. In my residency at Art Produce, I will be working on poems that reconsider my own stutter as an heirloom, asking: what, in and around ourselves, can we reconsider as an ancestral tool? What possibilities emerge when we do so? Learn more. |
