Nicole Caruth (Brooklyn, NY)
The first individual to receive the critical studies residency will be Nicole Caruth. A freelance writer and curator based in Brooklyn, New York, her writing has been published by the Studio Museum in Harlem; Museum of Contemporary Art Denver; Taipei Fine Arts Museum; CUE Art Foundation; Art Prize; Art21; NYFA Current, Brooklyn Fine Arts Magazine, Nka, Gastronomica, and ARTnews. Her curatorial projects include the forthcoming exhibition With Food in Mind, Center for Book Arts (April 2011); Burning Down the House: Building a Feminist Art Collection Brooklyn Museum (2008-2009); and Near Sighted – Far Out, at Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center (2008), all in New York City.
For her residency at CPW, Caruth will focus on the role of photography and the moving image in her project entitled Grace Jones: A One Man Show. Recognized for her mutli-faceted career, including modeling, singing, and acting, Jones' pursuits merged into a distinct androgynous persona. Collaborating with French image-maker Jean-Paul Goude, Jones crossed over from a disco-diva to an avant-garde performance artist. The resulting exhibition and publication begins with an examination of 1980s visual culture as shaped by artists and exhibition practice during this period. Caruth will also trace those developments to photographs, videos, and installations being made today by contemporary artists.
Lourdes Correa-Carlo (Houston, TX)
Based in Houston, Texas, artist Lourdes Correa-Carlo holds an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University and a BFA in Sculpture from the Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico in San Juan, PR. Currently a participant in the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Art, Houston and a past artist in resident at the Vermo nt Studio Center, Correa-Carlo has exhibited her work extensively in Puerto Rico, Italy, and the US.
For her residency, she will produce two photo-based sculptures, which serve to articulate the ambiences in the images and interventions through their sculptural form. Steeped in a semiotic approach towards making images, Correa-Carlo is interested in the psychological conditions of the architecture and spaces she photographs. The resulting works bring forth a discussion on the political and social issues embedded throughout the history of different architectural manifestations.
Nikita Gale (Lawrenceville, GA)
Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, Nikita Gale is currently based in Lawrenceville, Georgia. A recipient of a BA in Anthropology from Yale University in 2006, Gale's work has been featured in exhibitions throughout the Atlanta, GA region including a solo exhibition at Mint Gallery in 2010 and been featured in such publications as Art & Seek, 944 Magazine, Past Magazine, and URB Magazine, amongst others.
Over the course of her residency at CPW, Gale will work on a new project entitled 1961 which will culminate into a solo exhibition and a limited edition monograph. Inspired by a trove of 8mm film and 35mm slides she discovered while on a road trip through northern Georgia, Gale will mine this found archive which encapsulates a period of time pivotal both to Gale's own personal history and the Civil Rights Movement. This work continues her practice of re-photographing photographs and photographic material and builds on her fascination with both the concept of time and how materials and memories operate as functions of it.

Gerard Gaskin (Queens, NY)
A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Gerard H. Gaskin has worked a freelance photographer since receiving his BA from Hunter College in 1994. His images have appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Newsday, Pilitiken, Black Enterprise, Ebony, King, Teen People, Caribbean Beat and Inc. Magazine. His photographs have been exhibited across the country including at the Brooklyn Museum and Queens Museum of Art, and abroad in Goethe-Institute Accra (Accra, Ghana) and Fototeca de Cuba Habana (Vieja, Cuba) among others. Additionally his photographs are included in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Queensborough Community College Art Gallery. He was a 2002 recipient of a NYFA Fellowship in Photography and a 2005 Queen Council on the Arts Individual Artists Award and most recently in 2010 he was an Artist-in-Residence at Light Work (Syracuse, NY).
During his residency, Gerard H. Gaskin will be scanning, editing, and working on the book layout for his project entitled A Walk in the Park. For the past 15 years he has been documenting the House and Ballroom scene in New York City. Balls are an over 50 year old tradition of pageantry in the U.S. where working-class African American and Latina/o queer from urban inner cities come together to examine what it means to be gendered and sexed. Gaskin notes that though the Balls are ostensibly about fashion and prestige, they are really about building family and manifesting selfhood. Building upon the 1990 documentary film "Paris is Burning" by Jennie Livingston, Gaskin's ongoing project seeks to deepen and update that landmark film by adding visual image that capture the complex and rich lives of this community.
Tommy
Kha (Memphis, TN)
Chinese-American photographer Tommy Kha is based in Memphis, Tennessee. His work has been exhibited in solo shows including one at Five in One Memphis (2008) and at group exhibitions in New York, Shanghai, Austin, and Memphis. In 2009, Memphis Crossroads Magazine named Kha one of the "Top Twenty Untapped Artists." An alumnus of the New York Studio Residency Program and a Digital Photography Residency in Shanghai in summer of 2010, he is set to receive his
BFA in Photography from the Memphis College of Art in May 2011.
Kha will utilize his residency at CPW to continue his survey of experimental topographies –an ongoing mapping of experiences – exploring foreignness, familiarity, and the uncanny pertaining to his surroundings and situations. Specifically he will produce new images for his ongoing series American Knees in which Kha examines the notion of Yellowface, a pre-Hollywood-centric practice of casting Caucasian actors to play Asians and physically altering their appearances to give them stereotypical Asian facial characteristics – a trend which continues through today, most recently manifested in the M. Night Shyamalan movie "The Last Airbender" (2010). In reclaiming this "mask" Kha creates a paradigm in which he both attempts to take back control of Yellowface while also soliciting questions of his own identity – questioning his own authority to edit the history of Asians in passive, mystic, benevolent, supporting, effeminate, or weak traditional roles in Western popular culture.
Deana Lawson (Oakland, CA)
Currently based in Oakland, CA, Deana Lawson holds BFA and MFA in Photography from Pennsylvania State University at University Park and RISD respectively. A recipient of numerous residencies including a 2007 Visual Studies Workshop residency, a 2008 Light Work residency, and a 2009 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council residency, Lawson's work has been featured in such exhibitions Prolonged Fragments at the Elizabeth Foundation (2011), Greater New York at PS1 (2010), the Studio Museum in Harlem (2005 & 2010), 50 Photographers Photograph the Future at Higher Pictures (2010), all in NYC; the Silver Eye Center for Photography in Pittsburgh, Milk Contemporary in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Kit Museum in Dusseldorf, Germany; as well as in Converging Margins curated by Leah Oates at CPW (2008). Her work has been recognized and supported through many fellowships including the 2006 NYFA Artist Fellowship in Photography, a 2009 Aaron Siskind Fellowship, and the 2010 John Gutmann Photography Fellowship. Her images have been featured in such publications as Contact Sheet (issues 12 & 154) published by Light Work, Time Out New York, the Collector's Guide to New Art Photography Vol. 2 published by the Humble Art Foundation, the 2010 Greater New York exhibition catalog published by PS1 as well as in issue #98 of CPW's publication PQ. She is currently a visiting professor at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA.
Following a rigorous schedule of exhibitions, teaching, and shooting, Lawson will come to Woodstock to foster intellectual and technical growth in her work which represent a continuing examination of the body's ability to channel personal and social histories, drawing on the various formal and informal languages of the medium and its archival capabilities. She will continue work on her personal projects, creating reference images utilizing CPW's digital lab and create new images with CPW's large format camera.

Gina Osterloh (Los Angeles, CA)
A recipient of a MFA in Studio Art from the University of California, Irvine, Los Angeles based artist Gina Osterloh has exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. as well as in the Philippines, Australia, and Austria. Exhibitions in the U.S. include shows at LACMA, Pepin Moore Gallery in Los Angeles, California Museum of Photography at UC Riverside, Kate Werble Gallery in NYC, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Reviews of her work have appeared in The Los Angeles Times, Village Voice, Artforum, Art Asia, Asian Art News, Art in America, Art on Paper, and others. She is the recipient of numerous awards including a 2007-2008 Fulbright Research Fellowship and a Durfee ARC Foundation Grant in 2010. She is a part time lecturer of Photography at California State University, Fullerton and the exhibition organizer at Luckman Gallery at California State University, Los Angeles.
Osterloh will utilize her time in Woodstock to create a platform from which she will define a new arc in her photographic practice – a study of "improper light" and the relationship between abstraction and identity. To date, Osterloh has produced work through a series of restrained serial performances with anonymous women, paper-maché models, and cardboard cutouts in room size paper environments. The resulting images present an inherent focus problem in the structure of seeing. Camouflage and mimicry play an important role in questioning the formation of identity, where the delineation of an individual and a group of individuals begin. For her time in Woodstock, Osterloh plans to create environments where light pierces through pinholes in constructed set walls and seeps through translucent materials such as colored tissue paper. The use of "improper light" will allow her to bend grounds between flatness and dimensionality as well as normative ways of seeing through photography.

Jacolby Satterwhite (Brooklyn, NY)
Following earning a MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, Jacolby Satterwhite relocated to New York City where he lives and works. His multi-media works have been exhibited throughout the country, at such venues as The Kitchen, Dash Gallery, White Box Gallery, Exit Art, and the New Museum, all in New York; Plexus Art Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky; Aljira Center for Contemporary Art in Newark, NJ; and others. He has been awarded residencies at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in 2009, a Harvest Work Residency from 2010-2011, and a Van Lier Grant from the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Studio LLC program.
Satterwhite's work reflects a post-medium practice, intended to blur the lines between inside and outsider art, public and private, drawing and time based media, that uses photography, performance, 3D animation, fibers, and drawing to explore themes of memory, desire, ritual, and heroism. Drawings and musical recordings by his mother - the result of her battle with schizophrenia - represent a constant thread, in which Satterwhite's body and work act as an extension/interpretation of his mother's voice and drawings in effort to exploit the tensions created during translation and inheritance of studio practice. While in Woodstock, Satterwhite will focus on post-production work involving 3D animation, arranging photos, drawings, and stills in Adobe In-Design for a book project and writing about studio practice in relationship to his mother's drawings and voice recordings. Building upon footage and nature-oriented projects begun in Skowhegan, Maine, he will document outdoor performances that will culminate in pieces that push the intersection of computer graphics, drawing, performance, and documented images.
