Collection/Collaboration
A WCCW residency with /five at The Huntington
WCCW is excited to announce our residency at The Huntington as part of their /five initiative!
We selected 7 creative practitioners from nearly 100 applicants whose projects engage questions surrounding collecting: Who is involved in the process of collecting? What does it mean to encounter a collection? Who has access to the collections, and at what levels? What responsibilities come with being a library, a museum, and a botanical garden that collects physical objects of all sorts in an increasingly digital and virtual world?
Participating Practitioners and Collections they will be working in:
Soyoung Shin, Art Collection: The Bird Catchers
Juliana Wisdom, Art Collection: Sévres Porcelain
Kerrie Welsh, Library: materials related to Sappho
Jheanelle Garriques, Library: Elizabeth Montegue Collection
Olivia Chumacero and Sarita Dougherty: Gardens, California Botanical Gardens and HEH Grounds
Zya Levy: Gardens, Desert Gardens + beyond
