NOMADS & RESIDENTS makes connections with people who live here and with
people who visit, by setting up an active network of collaborators, and
creating and organizing public events in a variety of places. NOMADS
& RESIDENTS invites artists, guests, curators, critics, activists,
travelers and passers-by to present insight into their practice, their
ideas,
histories, and drives. The curatorial and organizing group of NOMADS &
RESIDENTS consists of New York based and temporary residents. They
actively seek out information about who is coming to New York and when,
they
invite guests to present their ideas and solicit the involvement of
spaces
where these presentations can take place. They welcome advice, ideas and
the
support of others. The events will be partly informal and casual, and
will focus on exchanging ideas, initiating new projects and networks.
They
will also include short presentations, lectures, talks, sideshows, small

exhibitions, performances, discussions. Priority will be given to
proposals that could become projects that will be shared among the
participants,
to a practice that can make resources and ideas available for common
use.

NOMADS & RESIDENTS is organized and compiled by Liesbeth Bik (artist,
The Netherlands), Andrea Geyer (New York based artist), Gordon Knox (New

York based initiator and organizer), Jan Kopp (artist, France), Micah
Lexier (New York based artist), John Menick (New York based artist),
