THE NATIONAL Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture on Skye has announced the next recipient of the Jon Schueler Visual Artist residency and a new exhibition by last year’s artist David Lemm.
The Jon Schueler Scholarship, now in its sixth year, is a unique international partnership between Sabhal Mòr Ostaig UHI and the Jon Schueler Charitable Trust, with support from the Royal Scottish Academy. It has been established to celebrate and remember the life, work and artistic influence of internationally- renowned artist and abstract expressionist painter Jon Schueler (1916-1992) who had a special relationship with the landscape and environment of the Sound of Sleat.
Rachel Schmidt from the United States, who will take up her residency between July and October, is an installation artist based in Washington DC. She uses time-based media and installation to explore the world’s impact on ecosystems, future landscapes and the role that myth plays in understanding of the environment.
