We are delighted to announce the details of our 2017 Las Vegas Residencies

Following the inaugral installment of Las Vegas artists' residencies in 2015, the second edition of Zabludowicz Collection's artist residency programme in Las Vegas, USA, is taking place this January. Five international artists have been invited to engage with this unique cultural location and direct research for work in response to their experiences of the city. As a globally famous tourist destination, a centre for conferences and trade fairs focussed on technology and industry, and a functioning city built upon an area of outstanding natural beauty, Las Vegas provides a fascinating array of opportunities for artists to develop their ideas and practices. The residency initiative emerges out of the Zabludowicz family’s ownership of real estate in Downtown Vegas, and their longstanding interest in exploring how different aspects of contemporary visual culture might coexist in the city. As part of the residency, artists are encouraged to connect with art museums and education courses based in the city. 

Participating artists Sarah Cwynar, Casey Jane Ellison, Matthew Day Jackson, Hannah Perry, and Puppies Puppies share an interest in how concepts of artifice and authenticity are negotiated both in our individual lives and through visual culture at large.
