For their residency, Joel Dow will be using VSW’s resources and gallery to create an immersive environment of video and installation. Working with found film by altering through cutups, loops, and hand painting, as well as video made from collaged images, analog manipulations and video feedback, they will be experimenting to create an enveloping space that pursues different feelings or states of mind.

Joel Dow is primarily an experimental sound artist of 12+ years. Their art has been an integral part of a nomadic lifestyle performing in DIY settings across the U.S. and Europe. As City Harvest Black, along with many other collaborations, Dow often creates visual pieces to accompany performances.

Support for this project came from Max and Marian Farash Foundation, Joy of Giving Something, and the New York State Council on the Arts Visual Arts program.
