Residency at The Center for
Land Use Interpretation
nowhere has been accepted to a residency program at the Center for Land Use Interpretation at Wendover Air Force Base in Wendover, Utah, on the edge of the Bonneville Salt Flats. The residency will afford Nowhere the chance to investigate the beautiful anomalies of the region. Following their natural curiosity about place, nowhere crew members will travel into the Great Basin to learn how human intervention has shaped the region, and the environmental and social consequences of those actions.
The group will explore abandoned rail lines, take solo journeys into the heart of the desert, and perform their own weapons tests, returning to Portland with objects and videos for a group exhibition at Jáce Gáce in Portland in December.
High Desert Test Sites
Charissa Niles and Brennan Conaway will be traveling to Joshua Tree National Monument in late June to help with HDTS’s summertime presentation. The weekend event includes a screening of the film “House Without a Door” by London-based artist Bernd Behr, a former resident at CLUI, and “Homes and Haunts of Exile Hollywood,” by Los Angeles based novelist, playwright, and director of the Max Kade Institute at USC, Cornelius Schnauber. Organized by the artist Andrea Zittel and friends, the High Desert Test Sites are a series of experimental art sites that provide alternative space for experimental works by both emerging and established artists.
