Hello,
My name is Michael Dinges, I am an artist who has been granted a three-month residency at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center's Arts/Industry Program at the Kohler Company in Kohler, Wisconsin.
My residency runs January 2nd through March 30th of 2008. I hope that by writing this blog, (my first ever), I can help to sort out the experience in my own mind, keep friends and family up to date, as well as possibly help other artists as they prepare for future residencies in the Arts/Industry Program. Some of my posts may be long, some may be very short, but I hope that, taken as a whole, they will give readers an idea of what this experience is like.
This is a truly great opportunity I've been granted. I know that with the guidance of the Kohler technical personnel, I will be making interesting work that I simply could not have fabricated without this residency. I also look forward to working alongside the other artists. I know we can all learn from each other's shared experience.
Many thanks to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center's Arts/Industry Program for their generous support.
Stay tuned as this three-month adventure begins January 2nd!
