fleeting space
With gyungju chyon

Humans regulate indoor environments—such as heat, humidity, and light—to enhance comfort and safety. Some spaces must maintain consistent conditions year-round to protect valuable contents, despite external weather variations. However, indoor environments are not entirely isolated from external fluctuations; airflow and light can vary. Sometimes, we notice these changes, while other times, they are so subtle that they go unnoticed.

The Fleeting Space workshop focuses on shifting, fleeting atmospheric phenomena. Participants will work with atmospheric elements such as light reflection, refraction, shadow, air movement, heat, sound, and smell. You will examine where and how these changes occur in your space and document the subtle changes using your choice of medium, such as drawing, painting, sketches, photography, physical experiments, or audio/visual recordings.

public talk
art got me here: How to Forge a Livelihood as an Independent, Multidisciplinary Artist
with perri lynch howard

In this presentation, Perri Lynch Howard will share her trajectory as an artist, tips and tricks for successfully operating an art business, and "workshop" some questions from the participants.

Howard is an artist dedicated to forging new narratives from the front lines of climate change. Working in the context of extreme environments is an essential aspect of Howard’s practice, driving her curiosity to seek a deeper sense of place, beyond the dichotomy of near and far. Recent projects investigate the passage of sound, light, and signal through landscapes on the front lines of climate change - a phenomenology of place. Her projects have received support from numerous residencies and granting agencies including Artist Trust, the Montello Foundation, Civita Institute, Willapa Bay AiR, PLAYA, Vashon Artist Residency, Kingsbrae International Residency for the Arts, Jack Straw Artist Support Program, Centrum Foundation, the Atlantic Center for the Arts and the Mamori Sound Project, among others. Perri’s art has a global reach through projects completed in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, and in South India as a Fulbright Scholar.

ARTIST STATEMENT

As a socially-engaged artist working in painting, drawing, installation, and sound, I evoke a world in flux due to the profound impacts of climate change. From my studio in the tiny hamlet of Twisp, Washington, this work reverberates globally through soundscapes and visual art exhibitions completed in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, and in South India as a Fulbright Scholar. My creative process is rooted in place-based listening, attending to the passage of sound, light, and signal through vulnerable landscapes - a phenomenology of place. The “Frequencies” series of paintings invites you to step into these resonant forces, translating sound into visual form, with an implied cartography. My most recent work, Lost Legends is a visual exploration of sound and silence, set against the sublime backdrop of western landscapes. Art/science collaborations are essential aspects of my practice, utilizing sound, image, and collective action to reimagine our relationship with a rapidly transforming planet. I grapple with the limitations of individual artistic agency in addressing climate change, seeking solutions through collaborative practices that bridge the poetic and the pragmatic. Working in partnership with scientists and researchers, we can empower ourselves and our communities to build a more resilient and just future.
