SUMMARY:Frontier Fellowship: Tristan Wheelock
DESCRIPTION:Tristian Wheelock was born in Chicago in the early eighties. His dad was a rock n’ roll dj and his mother owned a vintage clothing store. Wheelock spent his formative years sifting through racks of used Levi’s searching for that infamous big E and listening to the crackly sounds of jazz and blues on 78 rpm records. \nWheelock picked up a camera after college and hit the road to start documenting the world around him. He’s kicked up dust in New Delhi\, chased rally racers through the Himalayas\, Airstreamed his way across America and many other strange adventures. \nCurrently based in Florida\, he spends his free time climbing plastic rocks and slowly dialing in the feng shui of his new home. \n“The most exciting thing for me in regards to my upcoming time in Green River is the chance to\nengage with locals and learn about the community. I love small towns and I love the landscape\nin Utah\, especially around Green River. I’m looking forward to making some good work\, having\nsome enriching conversations\, and taking some long walks in the desert.”

SUMMARY:Frontier Fellowship: Caitlin Denny
DESCRIPTION:Caitlin Denny’s studies lay within the psychological and occult powers of new media\, notions of evolving and interactive archives and social justice amidst regulated internet and technology platforms. Denny’s current work concentrates on technology as performance\, Western Utopian complications\, and the preservation of such a mysterious medium as “New Media.” \nShe has exhibited internationally and has curated exhibitions in California\, France\, New York and online. She is curator of the online based project JstChillin\, a landmark netart project that garnered serious and critical attention towards internet based art which is now in the archives of Rhizome/The New Museum in New York City. \nHer own work in video and image making has been featured at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art (Sonoma\, CA)\, Little Paper Planes Gallery (San Francisco)\, Reference Gallery (Richmond\, VA)\, Roots and Culture (Chicago\, IL)\, School 33 Art Center (Baltimore\, MD)\, and The Lab (San Francisco\, CA). She’s spoken at the Creator’s Project\, UPLOAD.GIF\, and San Francisco Art Institute. She is recently graduated from UCLA’s Master of Library and Information Science program with a focus on media archives. \n“I’m looking forward to connecting the community of Green River to the layered and enlightening histories that all small American towns have. My work as an archivist isn’t done until I activate the materials with the users who can value them the most.”

SUMMARY:Neskaupstaður Residency
DESCRIPTION:Sykes has been invited to reside in Neskaupstaður (pop. 1400)\, Iceland\, for one month as a designer-in-residence working alongside local residents\, visiting designers\, and regional Austurland partners. She sees this residency as the continuation of a long-term relationship and a continued exchange amongst rural practitioners and residents. \nMany rural communities in the American West and East Iceland have struggled for decades with population decline\, mitigating destination development\, and an uncertain economic future (often dependent on corporations). Though these towns share many challenges\, all are rich in culture\, untapped-potential\, natural resources\, mythology\, history\, and all the reasons we love rural places. Epicenter Principal Maria Sykes is honored to be invited to continue her ongoing research and to better connect Green River and rural towns in Austurland (East Iceland). \nDuring this short residency in Neskaupstaður\, Sykes will share both Epicenter’s and her personal resources\, lessons learned\, best practices\, strategic planning advice\, etc. with the town’s leaders\, youth\, consultants\, and other visiting artists/designers through a series of conversations\, community meetings\, and intimate workshops. Sykes will document East Iceland’s rural communities and initiatives for Epicenter’s internal use. Similar to her first visit to Iceland\, employees and local Epicenter partners will be invited to a presentation of her time in Iceland upon her return. Ultimately\, we hope to host rural Icelanders in Green River in the near future!

SUMMARY:Frontier Fellowship: Erika Lynne Hanson
DESCRIPTION:Erika Lynne Hanson creates weavings\, videos\, and installations that connect diverse materials\, histories\, and places. Running through her work is a concern with the idea of landscape; specifically how landscape exists\, by definition\, as a view or representation—a space or scene that can never be reached physically. Hanson received her MFA from California College of the Arts\, and holds a BFA in Fiber from The Kansas City Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited in various locations including Los Angeles\, Kansas City\, San Francisco\, New York\, and Houston. Hanson is a Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Art fellow and has been artist in residence at Real Time and Space in Oakland CA\, The Icelandic Textile Center in Blonduos\, IS\, and The Wrangell Mountain Center in McCarthy\, AK. In 2012 she co-founded 1522 Saint Louis\, an experimental project space in Kansas City. Hanson is currently Assistant Professor of Fibers/Socially Engaged Practices at Arizona State University.
