MSUFCU Arts Power Up Arts Residency at FRIB Program

The MSUFCU Arts Power Up Arts Residency at FRIB Program is a collaboration between FRIB; the MSU Museum; the STEAMpower Project, Michigan State University’s art, science and culture collaborative; and Arts MSU. This residency fosters collaboration, exploration, experimentation and innovation on MSU’s campus, culminating in the creation of artworks at the intersection of art, science, and technology.

The program is supported by an endowed gift from the Michigan State University Federal Credit Union, with contributions from the MSU Museum and FRIB.

Abel Korinsky (representative of Studio Korinsky) of Berlin, Germany

Residence period: Spring 2024 semester 

Korinsky is one half of Studio Korinsky. Along with Carlo Korinsky, the two media artists conduct research into the reciprocal dynamics among sound, light and architecture, with a focus on how time-based media can be harnessed to create and transform the atmosphere of a space.

Violeta López López of Ávila, Spain

Residence period: Fall 2024 semester

López is an interdisciplinary artist who takes a multimedia approach to her practice, merging analog and digital through visuals, sound and words. The resulting work explores language, literature and science from a poetic perspective.

The program

The resident artists immerse themselves in the FRIB laboratory environment and explore the theme of nuclear astrophysics through their boundary-pushing work.

After their residencies, artists have the unique opportunity to showcase their works in an exhibition coordinated by the MSU Museum CoLab Studio, an experimental division within the MSU Museum that fosters the development of novel programming and community engagement initiatives.
