Julie Coulon / Elizabeth Krief & Jacques Manardo Artist Residency Program
April 1 - May 15
We are pleased to announce that photographer and artist Julie Coulon will be in residency April 1 to May 15, 2024 as a part of The Elizabeth Krief and Jacques Manardo Artist Residency Program at The Invisible Dog. A four years project that offers artists of all disciplines and nationalities the opportunity to reside in New York City for 1-3 months, without any obligation of a final production and objective, aside from engaging with our city of fantasy, change, excess, power, possibility, hustle, and grandeur.
Julie Coulon resides and works in Paris, cultivating her photographic and filmic skills at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and the School of Visual Arts in New York. Grounded in an approach that blurs the lines between fiction and reality, her images and performances seamlessly navigate between staged scenarios and documentary authenticity.
Yarn & Yack / Fiber and Knitting Workshop
Sunday, April 21
3:00 - 5:00 pm
The Invisible Dog is thrilled to announce the first ever Yarn & Yack, a fiber and knitting workshop led by Ana Watterson.
Inviting all knitters, crocheters, and anyone interested in expanding their fiber knowledge! Bring your hooks, needles, and yarn for an afternoon of crafting, contemplation, and community.
An old Irish crochet saying is,
you leave a little bit of your soul in everything you crochet.
So, to avoid this, you should work in a hidden mistake to allow your soul to escape.
All skill levels welcome!
