Visiting Artists and Critics
Visiting Artists are invited to live and work at Anderson
Ranch to make new works in our workshop studios or
Visiting Artist studio and explore new avenues for their
practice. Supported by our artistic staff, Visiting Artists
are on campus from one week to three months and
contribute to the dialogue and energy of our Ranch
community. They meet with students and artists-inresidence, present free public presentations of their
work and participate in our gallery exhibition program.
In 2012, the Ranch hosted seven Visiting Artists. Michael
Krueger, Holly Hughes, Takashi Nakazato, Julia Jacquette,
Enrique MartÃnez Celaya, Eva Speer and Cory Robinson
each spent several weeks on campus engaging with our
students and producing new works in our studios.
Our Visiting Critics met with artists-in-residence during
our spring and fall sessions and with participants of our
January Immersive program. They presented lectures
and free public talks about their work. The 2012 Visiting
Critics were Cory Robinson, Eva Speer, Julia Jacquette,
Nina Katchadourian, Scott Chamberlin and Andy Brayman.
Each of our Visiting Artists and Critics made an
impressive impact on our community through their
engagement with our programs and participants. In
addition, many of these artists contributed works to
the Ranch auctions and fundraising events. Hosting
artists of such high caliber contributes to the overall
quality of our organization and we are grateful for their
time and efforts.
