Lux residency for artists
Art in America, Feb, 2008
On Nov. 7, the Lux Art Institute opened its Artist Pavilion for residencies on a 4-acre site in Encinitas, Calif., near San Diego. Designed by Renzo Zecchetto, the $6-million pavilion contains living quarters, studio and exhibition space and administrative offices. The LEED-certified building was constructed with recycled materials and makes use of solar panels, native landscaping, renewable energy sources, green cleaning products, bike racks and recycling bins. The Lux project, founded in 1998 by Reesey Shaw, will eventually include a second building with a classroom, event and gallery spaces and a cafe. Visitors can see the artists at work during their residencies, ranging from two weeks to two months, and can view their work for about a month after [open Thurs.-Sat.].
Chilean artist Tomas Rivas, who makes sculptural works using drywall incised with architectural references, kicked off the program in November. Now in residence is Astrid Preston [through Mar. 22], who is creating a 16-foot painting of the nature preserve surrounding the pavilion. Future artists include Julie Heffernan [Apr. 4-May 31] and Daniel Wheeler [June 6-Aug. 2].
