WATERSHED+ is happy to announce our new artists in residence. The collaborative duo Minty Donald and Nick Millar arrived in Calgary from the UK this past weekend and will be undertaking four weeks of intensive research around Calgary’s watershed. They will return in August for the second phase of their residency to create a new body of work based on their research.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Minty Donald is an artist and lecturer/researcher in the School of Culture and Creative Arts, University of Glasgow, Scotland.

Recent projects include High-Slack-Low-Slack-High, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts and time/zones festival, Berlin, 2012; Lifeguard, Govanhill Baths, 2012 and Bridging Part 1, International Network of Contemporary Performing Arts (IETM), 2010.
Nick Millar is an artist with a project-based practice. He works frequently with Minty Donald and with other regular collaborators including Untitled Projects/Stewart Laing and Arika. Working with Minty Donald, his current practice reflects on human/water interrelations.
