It includes grassroots art spaces, coffee shops, community centres, cafes &#8211; anywhere artistic practices take place, are shown and\u002For are celebrated. They are often emergent and operate outside of professional guidelines.” (Centre Center, Google form, Accessed 17 Feb 2022. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fforms.gle\u002FTGFj9GKk3Sq2tJMAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\u002F\u002Fforms.gle\u002FTGFj9GKk3Sq2tJMAA\u003C\u002Fa> ) This definition draws on the work of Ray Oldenburg, an American urban sociologist, who coined the term ‘third place.’ Oldenburg identified one&#8217;s home as our primary space, one&#8217;s workplace as secondary, and the places we spend time in between as third places. (Ray Oldenburg, \u003Cem>Celebrating the Third Place: Inspiring Stories About the “Great Good Places” at the Heart of Our Communities\u003C\u002Fem>, Boston: Da Capo Press, 2002.) The term ‘third space’ is attributed to Homi K. Bhabha, a cultural and postcolonial theorist currently professor at Harvard University, and points to in-between space in which cultures collide and new identities are formed. (Bhabah, Homi K. \u003Cem>The Location of Culture\u003C\u002Fem>. London: Routledge, 1994). Edward Soja, an urban geographer, used the term ‘thirdspace’ to mean the real and imagined space or rather the lived space. (Soja, Edward W. \u003Cem>Thirdspace\u003C\u002Fem>.

I was very thankful for those opportunities, but it was also very clear that other people were not getting opportunities, and it made me ask why. I saw that the art world was quite nepotistic. It wasn&#8217;t based on a deeper reasoning, it wasn&#8217;t the best artists, it wasn&#8217;t a meritocracy. A lot of the people I thought were doing interesting work were people that maybe were shy, maybe had mental health issues, maybe were trans or queer, or maybe had a different fundamental experience. Maybe they moved to Vancouver from another part of the world and it just didn&#8217;t translate, the scenes didn&#8217;t translate. I thought — \u003Cem>all you need is a line on your CV.\u003C\u002Fem> Before you can get a show, you need to show that you’ve been active since school — like, perhaps do a residency somewhere. I thought, \u003Cem>I&#8217;m an artist, I spend all my time in my studio making things anyway, it&#8217;s kind of lonely, wouldn’t it be nice to have another artist in the studio.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cspan id='easy-footnote-7-1069'>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class='easy-footnote'>\u003Csup id='easy-footnote-7-1069' content='Nagtegaal’s studio is located within the house they live in in Vancouver.' v-tippy='{ allowHTML: true }'>7\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, I have ADHD. But I didn&#8217;t know that body doubling was a thing among folks with ADHD until recently. It means that you sit with each other and keep each other on task. It seemed like it would benefit everyone.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Hammock Residency started out as an art world hack. If you can get that first line on your CV, then the next line isn’t as hard. And then they can&#8217;t stop you, and then you&#8217;re in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>AC:\u003C\u002Fstrong> What was the inspiration or reference that was key for you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>HN: \u003C\u002Fstrong>I was inspired by spiders and sugar ants. I&#8217;m always de-cobwebbing, and spiders don&#8217;t care, they put another web up the next day. They eat their food, and they live well, and they don&#8217;t give a fuck, they&#8217;re fine. When sugar ants die, they release a smell that tells their decentralized hive — one that has no queen — to reproduce, so it’s very difficult to get rid of them. The only thing you can do is Borax your house to destroy their scent trails, but they&#8217;ll eventually create new ones. They are so resilient.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I began the residency, I thought about how these insects adapted because it was their natural instinct to survive. It doesn&#8217;t have to be forever, like the spiders, it just has to work. Art is a force that can’t be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was also obsessed with mushrooms, and envisioned Hammock as a mycelium. When space is needed, the mushroom flushes to produce fruit, and the fruit can look different from each other, but it’s still connected to the same source. For example, Volume One of Hammock was in my house, and Volume Two is online; it&#8217;s still the same inoculate, in mushroom speak. It doesn&#8217;t wreck the brand, or the idea, or the concept because it needs to change. I&#8217;m old now. I need money, you know, to pay the bills, and I want to pay the artists. So we&#8217;re just gonna flush in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>AC:\u003C\u002Fstrong> What is the philosophy or manifesto expressed by Hammock Residency?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>HN:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Version One was very much: \u003Cem>I made a space because we needed the space\u003C\u002Fem>. It was very punk, very emergent. The idea of things trickling up, being grassroots, you know; things don&#8217;t usually come from the top down — they come from the bottom and grow up, then eventually get validated and become the new standard. Grassroots initiatives and policymakers actually have a lot more in common than they think; they&#8217;re just working on different sides of a coin. I feel we as citizens have offloaded a lot of responsibility onto larger structures. Being a citizen means that you are participating, but many of us don’t, and offload that participation over to our governments. Similarly, it&#8217;s really nice to blame the art world for being the way it is. But if I am a citizen of the art world, part of my duty is to participate in a way that fosters the community I want to exist in. Most people don’t think punk ethics and the idea of care or citizenship can co-exist, but they are the foundational principles of a participatory system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>AC:\u003C\u002Fstrong> How has Hammock Residency changed your relationship to your home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>HN:\u003C\u002Fstrong> It feels very much like an amulet where you use something and it charges the energy. An amulet is an object that has been imbued with energy to supercharge it, and they are used to protect the holder from ill intent. It feels different now, because it&#8217;s been six years since Volume One, but you could really feel the house coming alive as it was functioning in all these different ways beyond just being a home for eating and sleeping.

Now, as part of a collective, I can share the responsibilities of running a residency with my collaborators; we each have our strengths that we bring to the project, which has allowed it to evolve. The difference is we see ourselves as part of the rhizome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before [in Volume One] I probably had a bit of an enmeshment codependency martyr complex, you know —\u003Cem> I&#8217;m here, I’m a victim, just here to serve the community, the rescuer, \u003C\u002Fem>kind of like the saviour\u003Cem>. \u003C\u002Fem>When I saw the needs of the Hammock residents reflecting my own, I felt like if I gave up the Hammock, or made changes to it, I would be giving up on my needs as well. It got really messy. Classic enmeshment, entanglement, codependency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought I had set up good boundaries, but there was always so much that was happening with Hammock. It happened so fast and the volume was so much that I really didn&#8217;t have time to process all of my needs. I never clued in that maybe what I needed was to slow down, or to share in the labour — which wasn’t a sustainable or responsible way to tend to anything. When I came out of it, that was a big takeaway. I thought it was spiritually facilitating something, when really, I was just helping it come to ruin faster. But, you know, you realize these things as you go through life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>AC:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Recently Hammock Residency has undergone some big shifts: from solo to collectively run, from self-funded to receiving grants, and from operating in your home to virtual.

I experienced a lot of grief because I had my identity all wrapped into this role. I took that time to figure out who I was outside Hammock, who my friends were beyond the framework of the community. We use the words friendship and community so loosely, but just because they&#8217;re showing up for the events and you hosted them for potlucks does not mean that they&#8217;re going to bring you soup when you’re sick, or call you up for brunch. They&#8217;re waiting for you to call them up, because you&#8217;re in the role of a social organizer. So those years allowed that part of me to decay a bit. I was performing such deep intimacy in providing and tending, but how did that actually transfer into lived intimacy for myself? And honestly, don&#8217;t get it twisted, facilitating is beautiful. But actual friendships are different. There&#8217;s a different social contract that&#8217;s made up, and so really getting clear on that for myself has been an important lesson.

Intimacy in this context refers to any type of exchange that is deep and meaningful, not a primarily romantic or sexual context. Discussions around art, eating food together, whether in a passing moment or a month of in-depth sharing — what makes it intimate is that it mattered, there was an impact, there was a mutual mark made of care, compassion, and goodwill on one another.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third spaces tend to be sort of like the doulas of the art world.

In the gallery space, she may show video documentation of the play, and maybe the costumes, script, and other ephemera surrounding the play, but the play itself wouldn’t actually work in the gallery. Third spaces are radicalized, because they are the places of emergence that galleries actually can&#8217;t hold. While I love art galleries, their white walls and quiet open spaces to reflect in, third spaces exist in contrast to that, and take a different kind of labour to maintain. The labour is more intimate, more emotional, and honestly, quite often it’s labour society genders as ‘feminine.’ There’s a hierarchy to the art world, and there’s definitely a piece to deconstruct around that, why we value one kind of labour and not the other.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>AC:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Can you tell me more about Centre Center?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>HN:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Centre Center is a collaboration between myself and Jenny. We met when we&nbsp; were both Christian punk teens doing DIY stuff in the suburbs. We had mutual friends, but were a suburb apart, and without social media, so you know, we were worlds apart, but peripherally connected through the punk scene. We reconnected fifteen years later at the Open Engagement conference in Portland, when we ended up driving back together through mutual friends, and hit it off right away, then realized halfway home that we knew each other already. We’ve been collaborating ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Centre Center is the overarching project that encapsulates all of our collaborations over the years.

Now with all the social justice and equity awareness trending, woke curating is a thing, and art institutions are going to third spaces to find these artists that have been historically marginalized by the traditional art systems. The Best Practice Guide exists first as a survey for third space artists and organizers to fill out. The results will be sent to every arts institution across Canada in March 2022. We have hopes to write grants and receive funding to keep the survey open and create an interactive web platform so that the feedback can be continuously updated. What we are starting is really just a snapshot, but it could become so much more over time with stable funding. But you gotta start somewhere, and this is where we are starting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a unique survey in the sense that people can write if they&#8217;re writers, they can also make a song or draw. There will also be someone available to fill the form out with them if they need access support. In terms of the data questions, folks can — but they don&#8217;t have to — fill out all of the stats. The Canada Council for the Arts wants that, because they see value in their data. In some ways it feels tokenistic, but at the same time, it&#8217;s a step towards addressing systemic biases and making change. If there&#8217;s anything I&#8217;ve learned about working with galleries it’s that most of them really want to do it well. And this is how we&#8217;re taking up space, in a way that&#8217;s kind of arms wide open, you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\">\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are an artist who uses third spaces, an artist who runs a third space, or a grassroots space, Centre Center would love for you to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fforms.gle\u002FTGFj9GKk3Sq2tJMAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fill out their survey!\u003C\u002Fa> If you would like to get in touch please email them at \u003Ca href=\"mailto:hellocentrecenter@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hellocentrecenter@gmail.com\u003C\u002Fa>.

It includes grassroots art spaces, coffee shops, community centres, cafes &#8211; anywhere artistic practices take place, are shown and\u002For are celebrated. They are often emergent and operate outside of professional guidelines.” (Centre Center, Google form, Accessed 17 Feb 2022. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fforms.gle\u002FTGFj9GKk3Sq2tJMAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\u002F\u002Fforms.gle\u002FTGFj9GKk3Sq2tJMAA\u003C\u002Fa> ) This definition draws on the work of Ray Oldenburg, an American urban sociologist, who coined the term ‘third place.’ Oldenburg identified one&#8217;s home as our primary space, one&#8217;s workplace as secondary, and the places we spend time in between as third places. (Ray Oldenburg, \u003Cem>Celebrating the Third Place: Inspiring Stories About the “Great Good Places” at the Heart of Our Communities\u003C\u002Fem>, Boston: Da Capo Press, 2002.) The term ‘third space’ is attributed to Homi K. Bhabha, a cultural and postcolonial theorist currently professor at Harvard University, and points to in-between space in which cultures collide and new identities are formed. (Bhabah, Homi K. \u003Cem>The Location of Culture\u003C\u002Fem>. London: Routledge, 1994). Edward Soja, an urban geographer, used the term ‘thirdspace’ to mean the real and imagined space or rather the lived space. (Soja, Edward W. \u003Cem>Thirdspace\u003C\u002Fem>.
