This exposition presents the format of an artist residency as a temporary, intense period of development that can exist between a studio and a gallery with the potential to be a semi-private/semi-public alternative to making creative research public. In this sense, the residency becomes a space for thinking, making, and showing art. In my practice-led doctoral research I identified the importance of this alternative site of engagement for focussing on the process (more so than outcomes) of artistic research.
