ARC 2016 Graduate Christopher has been selected for the prestigious Rijksakademie residency.

From the Rijksakademie website:

The Rijksakademie contributes to the development and renewal of the artistic practice by carefully selecting talented and ambitious artists for a work period. This two-year program offers artists theoretical, technical and artistic facilities. Research into, experimentation with, and development of the work are central aspects in the programme. The new group joins the 21 artists who started their residency in 2017.
