Do Do II: June 23rd - July 6th
Excrement itself is a product that is both pragmatic and necessary to our basic existence. By its nature, poop is entropic, breaking down and filtering into a network system (the earth) to produce growth (sustenance), a process of sustainability. Inasmuch as it is pragmatic, it is deeply symbolic, making meaning as it comes. The act of excretion presupposes the idea of ingestion and digestion, suggesting a site of production and dissemination. Excrement is the product that moves into the world and is absorbed by what we might consider to be the social domain, or public. To expel, to excrete, is to make the world again and again. Do do is chaos and creation, male and female, waste and seed, base and sublime, refusal and gift, reticence and ecstasy, desire and power, doubt and knowledge, negation and production, old and young, praxis and practice.
As a subject, excrement or feces seeps into ideas of production manifest in artistic practice. In that spirit, this two-week session will focus on excrement as production, doing a do do. We seek proposals that are mining the possibilities of what excrement offers both metaphorically and realistically.

Harold Classic: July 9th - 22nd
Freedom is classic. In the beginning Harold offered exclusively self-directing residencies, environments where resident artists co-create the form of the residency with aid from the program’s facilitators. Harold Classic is a truly open forum for artists who wish to be met with no obstacles in their pursuit of rural artistic production, but would like to utilize the resources and community offered at Harold Arts.

Survival III: August 10th - 24th
Survival is a three-year collaborative residency project between Harold Arts and threewalls. Held each summer at Harold Arts in Morgan County, Ohio near the town of Chesterhill, Survival is an ongoing discussion about the continuation of existence, in spite of obstacles or advantages in the landscape, economy or community, in public or private that hinder or facilitate endurance.
The project combines long-term relationships with commissioned projects and returning visiting artists, writers and curators with short-term residents and temporary visitors to create a collaborative program facilitated by its participants. Over the last two seasons residents have produced films, embarked on research projects and conducted workshops on themes relating to survival - whether physical, psychological or social. Past residents Sara Black and Conrad Freiberg are both working on new commissions for the Hub & Tack program, part of The Placemakers Foundation, our sister organization which seeks to invigorate Morgan County through arts and culture with a focus on site-specific works in architecture, earthworks, performance, sculpture and sound.
We invite your proposals to cap off the third year of Survival with a special invitation to those who would like to conduct workshops or make presentations in conjunction with the theme. Of course, we still invite individual research and private exploration.
This session is open to musicians and artists working in performance, film/video, architecture and three-dimensions.
