In/Side Residency – Kathmandu

The astoundingly amazing Jack Hodges / Do Wat Feels Good was selected for Micro Galleries In/Side Residency in Kathmandu, 1 – 31 October, 2019.

In/Side: Being inside but aware you are outside a space, community, a culture. What does this men and what can this new perspective bring? What does being [dis]placed in Kathmandu change about you, your understanding of the world, and the art you create?

The Residency Concept: To work on a project strongly related to the context of Nepal. The artist needs to research and trace specific communities, practices, problems, contexts and explore these through their practise, and consider how this can inform the creative landscape of Nepal, and then their own personal and home artistic landscape.

Outcomes: The outcome can be onsite in Nepal, or later back at the artists home community. If in Nepal, it can be an exhibition, workshop, presentation, talk, anything.

Jack works through simple complex quirky predictable random worldly qualia filtering down through Adelaide all the way to Cockle Town a.k,a. Goolwa. He is playing about with  moral problems, mischievous behaviour, colour schemes or beans that are full of meaning or simply for viewing pleasure.

He’s made us a lil’ video about his life, work, and what he’s initially intended to do in Nepal.

This residency was offered in partnership with Kaalo.101,  a transcultural artists’ collective whose mission is to create an open, non-commercial, free and creative space to work, experiment, exhibit and discuss. Kaalo.101 is a mixture between a gallery, work space and creative hangout, which is all based in a traditional Newari building in Nagbahal, Patan
