Collective assembly is a two-week residency program that invites artists & curators to participate in a communal build project at Artscape Gibraltar Point. Through group-oriented workshops participants will be introduced to basic woodworking skills and timber frame construction methods. The outcome of this residency is to collaboratively build a temporary pavilion for the Gibraltar Point grounds.
This program is open to anyone with an interest in building as a form of expression and inquiry, or simply as a learning objective. We also invite individuals who explore social engagement as an art form. Our residency activities will be experimental, intuitive and collaborative.
