Program dates: May 30–June 24, 2016
This residency takes on the challenge of energy—its pasts, present, and futures. Artists and researchers will help redefine the impact of energy on society, and imagine new ways of representing and thinking about energy for the coming transition.

Banff Research in Culture programs combine research and creation; academics and artists can carve out the time and space to further develop their ideas and projects within a supportive and rigorous community of diverse perspectives. Discussions and seminars, reading groups, talks and presentations by faculty and participants, demonstrations in artistic production, and studio visits are all a part of this program.

This program is open to current PhD researchers (ABD) and post-doctoral researchers beginning their careers. Artist applicants must have completed academic training in visual arts and demonstrate a commitment to professional practice.

This program offers four weeks of intensive studio time and opportunities for interaction, collaboration, and experimentation. Demonstrations in visual art production techniques will be offered, and our knowledgeable staff will be on hand to offer support and provide access to our world-class facilities.

Kiln Raising

Participating artists will delve into wood kiln history, theory, principles of design, construction and firing process with the goal of understanding and maximizing the nuances of wood firing and its relationship to form and surface. Discussions and workshops addressing clay-body formulation, wheel- and handbuilding processes, loading and firing strategies for atmospheric kilns, are also part of this residency.
