Jeanne Jaffe worked onsite in a gallery-adjacent studio space for a two-week Residency Exchange, May 13th – May 27th 2:30pm – 6pm most days. Visitors had the opportunity to watch Jaffe at work in the studio, study her process and use of materials, and even contribute to the work. Her focus during the Residency Exchange was working on a piece in Past, Present…which was continuously installed and added on to in the gallery. In addition, Jaffe also taught a shadow puppet workshop and led an exhibition tour with a group of artists.
