The truly essential artists’ needs are tranquility and camaraderie. In the crisp Canadian autumn, three Icelandic artists who have been working with performance art, cinema, and music throughout their career (together and apart) will seek to inspire fellow artists with a situational, performative residency. The Soiree Retreat residency is aimed at artists working with performance, video, music, painting, poetry…ahhh who cares? It will be a retreat in the mountains for crazy work and constant intellectual stimulation.
