19 Projects: Artists-in-Residence at the MIT List Visual Arts Center

This beautifully designed catalog documents the projects undertaken between 1985 and 1993 as part of the LVAC’s Artist-In-Residence program. Over the course of ten years, nineteen artists came to the List Visual Arts Center for periods of time ranging from two weeks to several months and were invited to make a new work and to push their research and creativity in new directions. Liberated from its conventional definition of mute display container, the List Center gallery was reconceived to become an active hybrid of studio, laboratory, library or staging area. The catalog includes brief introductory essays and an in-depth interview with each artist in addition to photo documentation and biographical information. Artists include Victor Burgin, Betye Saar, Marina Abramovic, Ann Hamilton, May Sun and Robert Cumming.
