Contemporary Artist Laurie Anderson Named Inaugural Distinguished Artist in Residence at EMPAC

*

The Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has announced that Laurie Anderson has been named the inaugural distinguished artist in residence at EMPAC for a three-year term beginning later this year.

As one of America’s foremost contemporary artists; a persistent experimenter at the intersection of performance, media, and technology; and an inventor of tools and instruments, Anderson and EMPAC’s exceptional research and production environment for adventurous new work are an ideal match, according to EMPAC leadership. The residency provides Anderson with wide access to space, technology, and support for creative experimentation, but just as important, brings the artist into ongoing dialogue with students and faculty at the nation’s oldest technological university.

The residency is project-based and will include at least one public or student event and related workshops each semester over the next three years.

Anderson first came to EMPAC as a resident artist in 2009 to complete work on Delusion, a complex series of stories about longing, memory, and identity commissioned by the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.
