The International Artist in Residence Programme : Summer Residencies

The International Artist-in-Residence Programme was first talked about in 1995 and was launched with the first residency in the Spring Term of 1996. Since then, alongside the month long residencies, there has developed a shorter format for the Summer Residencies in the Summer Term. The emphasis on these week-long residencies is student contact although often a public performance, small exhibition or lecture takes place as part of the visit. These residencies provide a good resource for the first year students at a time when the second year students are busily involved in final assessments and preparations for their Final Year Show

	Przemyslaw Jasielski, is a Polish artist who studied and now teaches at the Poznan Academy of Fine Art. Jasielski was in Guernsey during May 2003 and led a workshop on object and sound with the 1st Year Art & Design students. He launched his residency with a public lecture and installed a work entitled To see the sound of an angel wings; anatomical version in ' the gallery'
	Alexandre da Cunha, was in Guernsey during May 2002. He is a Brazilian artist who is currently based in London where he stayed after completing a MA at the Chelsea College of Art and Design. His more recent work has concentrated on sculptures often dealing with a sense of self. Da Cunha launched his residency at Grange House with a performance of Coverman
	Carlos Torres, is a painter who has had a great deal of critical acclaim for his recent museum show in Mexico City. His works' vibrancy is often concealed by a final coat of dark paint so only glimpses of the explosion of colour remain. He has lived for many years in Paris but his Mexican childhood proves a more fertile inspiration for his work and he returns to his homeland annually
	Jean Loup Cornilleau, from Paris, worked with the students on their On-Site Project. Sharing his love of the unexpected, shown through his personal juxtapositioning of found objects within 'the gallery' space, Cornilleau challenged the students to re-examine their given sites.
	David Tremlett, a British artist who travels extensively, visited the island for a few days. He worked with pure pigment directly onto 'the gallery' walls and showed these Drawings alongside an exhibition of his bookworks
	Robert Janz, who launched the Summer Residency in 1997, was only in Guernsey for a week but in that time he taught, prepared an informal exhibition and gave a Performance Reading
