Residency program

Atlantic Center, New Smyrna Beach

Since 1982, Atlantic Center’s residency program has provided artists from all artistic disciplines with spaces to live, work, and collaborate during three-week residencies. Located just four miles from the east coast beaches of central Florida, the pine and palmetto wooded environment contains six award-winning studios that include a resource library, painting studio, sculpture studio, music studio, dance studio, black box theater, writer’s studio, and digital computer lab. Each residency session includes three master artists of different disciplines. The master artists each personally select a group of associates - talented, emerging, midcareer artists - through a formal application process administered by ACA. During the residency, artists participate in formal sessions with their group, collaborate on projects, and work independently. The relaxed atmosphere and unstructured program provide considerable time for artistic regeneration and creation. Room and board is free to accepted artists.

For more information on how to apply, please telephone (386) 427-6975 or (800) 393-6975 or visit http://www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org

Residency Statement
I am a freelance writer. I plan to write every morning and interact with anyone who wishes to interact in the afternoons. While in residence I plan to do site research for a film I am writing about the Allman Brothers who grew up in Daytona Beach, and to work on a collaborative project between Las Vegas artists and the Graphic Studio in Tampa at University of South Florida.

I would like to meet with artists and writers who are interested enough in having a career in the non-institutional art world that they are willing and able to leave town to pursue this goal. We will meet and talk about structure of the secular art world, its standards and decorum, and the survival strategies it requires.

Application Criteria
For selection, I will review a one-page vita and a sheet of slides from artists or clips from writers. No statements! I care about what you have done, not what you intend to do.



David Parsons, choreographer

David Parsons has enjoyed a remarkable career as a performer, choreographer, teacher, director and producer of dance. His work has been enthusiastically embraced by audiences, presenters and critics the world over. From 1978-1987, he was a leading dancer with the Paul Taylor Dance Company. Companies with which he has made guest appearances include the New York City Ballet, the Berlin Opera, MOMIX, and the White Oak Dance Project. In 1987 Parsons and lighting designer, Howell Binkley, founded The Parsons Dance Company, whose mission is to make modern dance accessible to the widest possible audience throughout the world. The Company is comprised of ten full-time dancers and has given well over 1,000 performances and a great many educational and community outreach residency activities.

As Artistic Director, he created over 60 works with The Parsons Dance Company, having received commissions over the years from eminent presenters such as the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Hancher Auditorium/University of Iowa, the Spoleto Festival, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Canada, and the Het Muziektheater, among others. He has also choreographed works for the Paul Taylor Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Atlanta Ballet and National Ballet of Canada among others. The companies that have performed his works includes Paris Opera Ballet, Feld Ballets/NY, Netherlands Dance Theater, English National Ballet, BatSheva Dance Company of Israel, among many others.

Parsons choreographed and directed the dance elements for Times Square 2000, the festivities in Times Square for 24 hours celebrating the turn of the Millennium. He was a recipient of the Dance Magazine Award for the year 2000. In 2001, he served as a director/choreographer for AEROS, a production featuring the Romanian Gymnastic Federation. He created a piece for American Ballet Theatre using the music of George Harrison, which premiered in October 2002 at City Center, New York City.

In addition to creating quality dance programs, Parsons is committed to dance education. In the spring of 1999, he was awarded the National Artist Award by the University of Arizona at Tucson for his outstanding work with young people.

Residency Statement
During the residency, associates will be involved with the initial workshop of a musical, choreographed by David Parsons, slated for a NYC production directed by John Caird with music by Paul Gordon. Parsons will choreograph sections involving dance in a highly theatrical fashion to illustrate songs and propel the storyline forward. The Parsons Dance Company members will also be in residence and work with the associates. There will be a daily dance class taught by a Parsons Dance Company member, which the associates will attend. Mr. Parsons will also instruct the participants on the business of dance and how to survive and thrive.

Application Criteria
Dance applicants should submit a resume and a videotape of their choreography and/or performance. Applicants in dance should be versatile and proficient in contemporary and ballet techniques and should be advised that the work is extremely physical. Applicants from other artistic disciplines only need to show interest in Parsons' work, and should just send a resume and description of their work.



Steven Pippin, visual artist

Steven Pippin changes objects of common use and even entire rooms into a camera obscura - a kind of photographic dark room. It is Pippin's fascination with the pioneers of photography that led to his most triumphant work to date Laundromat-Locomotion, for which he received the Turner nomination. He says he despairs a little of the fact that, since its inception, photography has been primarily an art of the domestic and the mundane. He would like, in part, to return to it some of its essential magic.

Pippin was born in Redhill, England and lives in London, England. He received a BA from Brighton Polytechnic, and a MA from the Chelsea School of Art in 1987. Pippin has exhibited extensively in Europe and North America since 1986. Solo exhibitions have been held at the Institute for Contemporary Art in London, the Musee d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Portikus in Frankfurtam Main, the FRAC Limousin in Limoge, France, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Institute for Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, and Miami Art Museum. Among the numerous group exhibitions in which Pippin has participated are Aperto 93 in Venice, Brilliant at the Walker Center in Minneapolis, Minky Manky at the South London Gallery, Sites of the Visual at Portikus in Frankfurt, Life/Live at ARC in Paris, Antechamber at the Whitechapel in London, In Visible Light at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Turner Prize Exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London, Photography an Expended View, Recent Acquisitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, The Fantastic Recurrence of Certain Situations at Sala de Exposiciones del Santa Isabell II in Madrid, and, most recently, in Tempo at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Pippin was the artist-in-residence at the DAAD studios in Berlin in 1997.

Residency Statement
Initially I perceived art to be a pure discipline free of contamination and unconnected to money and commercialism. After 20 years of working near the art world I realize that this is not the case.

Painting is creating a drag on the forward thrust of art and should be eradicated.
How can we create a machine (or an art work) that will destroy the comfortable modern museums of art?

Can photography be turned back (in) on itself to create a photograph that will neutralize the current obsession to document everything? Soon the Eiffel Tower will be outweighed by the sheer mass of photographs taken of it over the years. …the mass media finally replacing reality.
The television has replaced the sun as the new center (of the universe) and the roaming video cam has obliterated man's curiosity to explore.

Application Criteria
Applicants should provide 20 slides, video (on CD in Quicktime format), a resume and an artist's statement.
