SKYDIVE!!!!!
The Chautauqua Art Lab began last night at Fort Gondo. Keith Sawyer lectured from his book Collective Genius, Rich O'Donnell brought out his newest gadget- drum machine gloves and foot pad, Daniel Shown shared his sound and video mixing. I did a little folk/noise performance with organic instruments and distorted vocals. Bill McCormick shared his folk instruments including a saw drum pad he constructed from found objects. Then Ghost Ice and Adam both with electronic instruments and Eric Steins on the digital sax joined in a collaborative jam session with just about everyone present.
Spending much of the day researching artist projects and programs while writing about the residency I'm hoping to create. Today I found Incubate and Skydive both with similar concepts to what I'm considering doing. Wanting to take some of these ideas and create something that is less intellectualized in order to be accessible to more people while at the same time create dialogue with intellectuals. I think its going to be a difficult process.
Skydive Projects in Houston.
Utilizing an open collective model, Skydive hosts boundary pushing artists for their 12' 14" space located inside an apartment building in Houston Texas. Skydive is a team of artists, curators, and visionaries with the focus of interacting with between guest artists and the Houston community.
In conjunction with artist projects Skydive also hosts a Saturday free school and connects with green projects in the immediate area including a recent construction of a straw bale artist residency center in west Texas.

Incubate
Located in Chicago, Incubate considers itself a research institution that is challenging current art infrastructures in how they affect artistic production. They do not have a 501c3 and are attempting to work outside of that structure. Though exploration they are developing alternative financial models for contemporary art institutions and collective or individual artist projects working outside of institutions. They are exploring financial models outside of external market looking for new methods that are more relevant to both art and the everyday. The goal is to continue to conceptualize new possibilities, document and share findings. Connect to Incubate

Including the investigating of current practices in public/private sponsorships for arts organizations.
