untune Residency
The untune residency is a non-discipline specific programme for (inter)national artists and creative practitioners to experiment, observe, learn, exchange ideas, and collaborate. We encourage the exploration and research of site-specific histories and ecologies, as well as the socio-cultural transfiguration of collective spaces in Los Angeles and California’s central coast. Selected creatives are offered guidance, space, and time to work on their own projects, collaborate with the surrounding bodies (wildlife, community, and land) and engage in daily regenerative activities (untune’s guiding principles) to learn new skills and strengthen our cohabitation instincts. These activities aim to collectively slow down the energy flow with the intention to inspire a zero-waste practice, food sustainability and accessibility, community growth, and mind/heart nourishment
Residency Details
This will be the first year untune invites creatives to apply for 3 week (two locations) or 1 week (one location) residencies:
Option one (3 weeks):
two weeks at canvas 5025 (located in North East Los Angeles) and one week at Rancho Arroyo Grande (RAG, located in California’s central coast). We will be driving together from one location to the other and stopping at sites of interest along the route. The distance between the locations is approximately 300 km. This program is organized in a way to allow for non-local artists to engage with local artists.
Option two (1 week):
One week at Rancho Arroyo Grande (located in California’s central coast) near the Los Padres National Forest. We will be accepting more applicants for this one week residency because the site can accommodate a greater number of people. The options are to either meet us in Los Angeles to travel together/caravan to the site OR you’re welcome to meet us at the location if you happen to be in San Luis Obispo county or traveling through the central coast.
