Artist Experience BASEMENT’s past exhibition, "Breathing W ithout A Body," ran from <br />Nov ember 2019 to January 2020, and featured local artists Saba Taj <br />(NC), Stephen Hayes (NC), and collaborators Max Symuleski (NY/NC) <br />and Sinan Goknur (Turkey, NC). Through the BASEMENT curators' <br />collectiv e research and studio v isits, we rigorously selected artists <br />who employed v arious methods and media, including collage, <br />drawing, sculpture, and v ideo that considered the past, present, and <br />future through an exhumation of the body within distinct social and <br />historical landscapes. W hile speculating on the contradictions and <br />continued v iolence of racism and economic dev elopment in the <br />name of capital, together their works asserted a space of both <br />resistance and resilience. BASEMENT hosted an opening reception, <br />docent walk-throughs, and a closing reception that included a <br />moderated panel discussion. The months-long process of planning <br />and mounting this show helped us strengthen and expand our <br />collaborativ e, organizational, and curatorial skills, and to initiate <br />dialogues with exceptional artists in the area. <br />BASEMENT striv es to support urgent v oices of artists with Southern <br />ties from v arious backgrounds and at differing stages in their <br />careers. To us, the selection of an artist is not only for a singular <br />ev ent but is intended to be a long-term commitment to use our <br />platform to promote and adv ance their careers. W e v iew our support <br />as an important on-going inv estment in building relationships with <br />critical art practitioners from and for our local and regional Southern <br />community. <br />PROJECT/PROGRAM <br />BUDGET <br />Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and <br />income.
