Overview

Cooper Summer Residency is a space for artists to reflect upon and experiment with new ideas and strategies that will extend their practice. The residency is based on a desire to investigate the means and potential of working in an environment that supports the exchange and sharing of resources and knowledge. It also provides audiences with an alternative way to observe, encounter and engage with contemporary art. During the summer, the Cooper Gallery at DJCAD is turned into a studio space for a group of invited artists to develop new works in situ. For this year's residency, we are delighted to host three Video/Sound artists to take part in the programme: Sam Spreckley and Kim Walker are both DJCAD graduates who have exhibited works internationally, whilst Valentina Bonizzi is an Italian photographer and filmmaker who is based in Glasgow. During the residency period, audiences will be invited to a Meet the Artists event where they will be able to have informal discussions with the artists.
