Dear Reader,
In the following pictures you will see what an average snippet of time in the Hammock Residency may look like. I can’t say that apart from the exhibitions - a denoted public space - that life at the Hammock Residency is a private space by default. The coffee is always on or being made, people are coming through constantly, and there is an endless flow between studio time, eating, drinking, sleeping, talking, arguing, dialoguing, engagement, and critical discourse, alongside laughter, jokes, and household projects.
Since Jan-June 2010, we’ve made a fire pit in the backyard, painted the stairs, broken the old hammock (at Neal Rockwell’s opening, summer 2011), bought a very colourful new one, and had yet another hammock gifted to us (thank you Amy Kazymerchyk).
Although the photos are dated, they are an accurate representation of life lived between the lines, the process before the finished project, and dedication to all parts of the practice.
Yours,
Heidi Nagtegaalhttp://www.hammockresidency.com

Thank you everyone for coming out! I think there was 250 of you. I have to make a blog now or something with the Music Fest photos because people keep asking me what’s up and I have over 400 photos on my phone….
Crazy!

Christopher Olson made a Mix CD for the Better Than The Devil event that Nathan Matthews & Emiliano Sepulveda concocted during their stay. According to Olson, “there is a conceptual thread running through this mix that may only be apparent to myself,” to which I had an ongoing inside joke with myself with for days afterwards over.
Neal Rockwell joins the Hammock Residency briefly in March, while in town to do a performance / writing piece for the Or Gallery.
