RESIDENCY OVERVIEW
The 2013 iLAB Residency Program will run from May to October 2013. Every iLAB residency is expected to integrate the following themes, methods, and concerns:
• Focus – using a well-defined research topic to facilitate and inspire collaborative processes
• Research methods – exploring, using, and re-crafting research methods from different disciplines
• Shared language – facilitating communication within the group when words have different meanings to people of different backgrounds
• Documentation – capturing the moments of coming together in process, rather than simply capturing an end product or event
• Component of site – working on (and with) a particular site and treating the site itself as a collaborator in the process; negotiating distance and proximity to site throughout the process
• Solo/collaboration – finding balance between individual space and working collectively

2013 iLAB REQUIREMENTS
• Commitment to two one-week rural residencies.
• Collaborative process workshop scheduled at the beginning of the residency period.
• Meetings with iLAND staff to plan documentation, press materials, scheduling, and other aspects of the residency.
• Commitment to engage for a two-week minimum on site and in person with all of the collaborators (this can be dispersed through out the residency period).
(Note: iLAB rural residencies include food and board, but not travel).
iLAND provides up to $7,000 toward artists’ fees, supplies, and materials for each residency. iLAND does not provide funding for travel or lodging related to the residencies.
