RAIR generally offers two types of residencies: A Standard program of 6 weeks, and a shorter one that is carried out over 2-4 weekends, which it calls the Biggie Shortie. The RAIR ft UPENN program, a partnership between RAIR and Upenn’s Department of Fine Art, offered 7 MFA students and 12 undergraduates a one day “mini-mini-residency” or “Biggie Super Shortie”. The full workday included a tour of the RAIR facility, a slide presentation and both individual and collaborative projects. For a lot of the students this was an introduction into working with found materials, to working instinctively with a given set of resources, and to working site specifically.
