About Resonance

Resonance is a music residency program hosted by the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center. Each year, a musician is selected by the institution to connect with the house, studio, and the local community through a series of workshops, performances, and talks. Over the course of one year, the chosen artist will develop a thesis project which will culminate in an album, installation, or exhibition. Music was an integral ingredient in the lives and work of both Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner. The Resonance program reintroduces this vital element into their home, while also showcasing exciting contemporary musicians who engage in formal experimentation in their work in much the same way that Pollock and Krasner did in their own.
