The Brenda Taylor Gallery will be hosting
artist residencies to selected emerging and mid-career artists!
Our Residency program starts in August and
runs through October.
This unique residency allows two students
per three-week session space and materials to create new work. The
residency will be conducted in a three-bedroom antique cape in Machiasport,
Maine. The home is set on nearly three acres and has 400 feet of cove
frontage with direct ocean access and ample grounds to enjoy.
Each artist will have a private bedroom,
shared living room, kitchen and bath.
Workshops will be lead by Jörg
Madlener as well as other visiting artists such as Heather Wilcoxon, who
will teach during the August and September sessions.
Madlener studied architecture, art and philosophy in Darmstadt,
Frankfurt and in Antwerpen. He was also a private student of the painter
Otto Dix.
As
a painter, he represented his country Belgium at the Venice Biennales
and São Paolo and his work can be found in museums such as the Solomon R.
Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Albertina in Vienna and the Museum of
Modern Art in Brussels, among others. Madlener's work is also held in
public and private collections in Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Holland,
France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the United States.
As a set designer for opera and theater, he worked for productions in
Belgium, Holland, Germany and the United States. Madlener has taught
in art schools and universities in Germany and Belgium and privately in
northern Italy (the Dolomites) and in the United States.
