Resident Artist Open House: Coley Mixan

Coley, who uses motion capture, virtual and mixed reality mediums to highlight and multiply queer bodies in motion, will work on their newest project, The Spiral Who Loved Me, a video/performance that questions the white, capitalist mythologies of Sci Fi and the American Western.

Coley Mixan is a musician, public library activist, performance artist, radio DJ, and pastry/prairie enthusiast. They currently work in Seattle, thrusting through a multiverse of clues, hunches, and downright queer shenanigans. You can discover more on their Instagram: @astro.ooze

About the Base Residency:

After three years of experimentation, our inaugural season marks a bold retooling of our signature Base Residency program, with changes aimed at expanding and deepening the positive impact of the program within the arts community. Selected from an open call, four Base Resident Artists will receive three-week, full-access residencies each yearrepresenting an increase in both the duration of the residency and number of residencies awarded each year.

The intent is the same: to provide artists with an experience of drastic freedom in an atmosphere free of external pressure. For three uninterrupted weeks, Base Resident Artists dive deep into their disciplines, using 24/7 access to Base for development, self-challenge and experimentation. Each Base Residency culminates in an open house that offers a public vantage point on a particular stage in the creative development of a project or specific aspects of an artists practice.

Base is thrilled to announce our 2019/2020 Base Resident ArtistsColey Mixan, Jenna Eady, Degenerate Art Ensemble and Same as Sister. Selected from a pool of more than 40 applicants from Seattle and beyond, these artists embody Bases mission to support risk and experimentation in distinct and unexpected ways.

Base is ADA accessible through the North entrance. Email allison@thisisbase.org for information and questions about accessibility.
