“We envisioned a blank slate,” Schor says. “Each artist could come in and take ownership over the space and feel like they’re isolated in their own little world so they can immerse themselves in it.” Silent Funny offers a type of residency experience in which an artist works in the space during the lead-up to his or her show. Each artist is also invited to leave a piece of work behind as a hallmark, Schor says, “so we’ll be crafting a living museum of what’s happened over the period of time we’re here.”
