Temporary Island
26 Jun, 2019 - 03 Aug, 2019
EFA Project Space presents Temporary Island, an exhibition that brings together new works produced during the 2018/19 SHIFT Residency. Over the course of the past year, seven artists came together to form a 鈥渢emporary island鈥� -- a self-imposed shipwreck on remote land; an organized resistance to survive New York City鈥檚 grind; and a floating collaboration on the fringes of busy schedules. SHIFT Residency and its de facto 鈥渢emporary island鈥� address the unique challenges of work-life balance facing a niche of artists who work over 35 hours per week in support of other artists (as arts administrators, curators, educators, and advocates). Many residents and alumni are caregivers outside of work or members of the 鈥渟andwich generation,鈥� whose commitment to the residency underline SHIFT鈥檚 call to thrive.
