Residency Unlimited is pleased to announce its collaboration with Elastic City. Through this partnership, RU artists are offered the unique possibility of creating new walks during the course of their residency. Elastic City is a project that intends to make its audience active participants in an ongoing poetic exchange with the places we live in and visit. Artists are commissioned by Elastic City to create their own walks. These walks tend to focus less on providing factual information and more on heightening our awareness, exploring our senses and making new group rituals in dialogue with public space in the city.
On Saturday September 10th and Saturday September 17th 2011 (1.00pm and 4pm) , 2010 RU artist in residency Anne Percoco will create the walk “Creek and Valley Shrines” in Flushing Meadows Corona Park (Queens, NY). For more information about these 4 walks over two weekends, please click here:

Participants on the walk will interact with the park’s natural and synthetic living systems and create focal points in the landscape through the construction of personal and communal shrines.
