Glyndor Gallery's Winter Workspace is buzzing with the second wave of artists in residence this season. Five artists have set up studio space for the session, which lasts through March 27. Max Liboiron works on a trash-based sculptural installation; it will evolve over the course of her residency through an interactive exchange with visitors. As part of his ongoing investigation, James Walsh researches, presses and displays plants found in the arctic and New York City. Swati Khurana continues the intergenerational embroidery project that she has been working on for years with her grandmother, contributing and exchanging ideas and techniques. Meghan Gordon conducts research on the historical mural found in Wave Hill's Ecology Building in preparation for her installation in Wave Hill's Sunroom Project Space in April. The Friendly Falcons and Their Friend the Snake (Jeffrey Kurosaki and Tara Pelletier) create an installation that weaves a story related to Wave Hill, incorporating both music that they perform and found sound.
