Artist in Residence: Nicky Hamlyn (UK)

April 25 – May 16, 2012

Location: To Be Announced

In collaboration with the 18th edition of Media City Film Festival (May 22-26, 2012), the AGW will partner with the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto to host a three-week artist residency with renowned English filmmaker Nicky Hamlyn.

As part of this special engagement, Hamlyn will create site-specific films in Windsor, intended for both cinema and gallery, culminating in their presentation during festival week.

A complement to the Correspondences exhibition at the AGW -- featuring works by Hamlyn and other British artists -- this new residency program is intended to be the first in a series engaging contemporary film and video makers in productions, workshops and online publications.
