Tinderbox program3/29/2023 TooManyLeftHands is made up by Anders K and Martin Nick and has been synonymous with Magicbox since the very beginning. And for the first time ever, it’s been curated by the Danish electronic duo TooManyLeftHands. Today, Tuesday February 28th, the festival follows up with the announcement of the Thursday lineup. I came home not just with a new array of sound clips or ideas, but with a freshness of spirit and eye that will feed my work for months to come.Yesterday, Monday February 27th, the Danish festival Tinderbox revealed that Dutch superstar Armin van Buuren will be headlining this year’s edition of Magicbox – the extremely popular electronic stage that runs parallel with the rest of the festival. We spent a week removed from anything except attention to these things, ourselves, our surroundings, and our work. “Our Signal Fire Residency gave us the things that sound simple, but are so frequently hard to come by: Time. The group dines together each evening, on a meal prepared by Signal Fire at the base camp. Signal Fire organizers are stationed at the base camp, available for emergencies, unforeseen needs or friendly chats whenever needed. Each tent is set apart from the others, but within a short walk to a base camp. The tents are equipped with a desk, cot, and rug for a comfortable camping experience, as well as kitchen utensils and food for self-prepared breakfast and lunch. Artists are provided with food, maps, and a magnificently spacious 12×12′ canvas tent that provides both work and sleep space. ![]() Our flagship Outpost Residency started in 2009 and has continued each year in a new location. – Gary Wiseman, Tinderbox Artist-in-Residence, 2015 The strategic model of Signal Fire seems to be that of accumulating artists and offering them experiences and information while keeping in mind that one artist by herself can make an impact, but multiple artists in conversation over time have been known to change the world.” “This residency and the relationship between Signal Fire and organizations like Bark are crucial, primarily because Signal Fire has a long-term, proactive approach that is quite innovative and unique. The work resulting from Tinderbox will be considered for exhibition and inclusion in future issues of Leaf Litter. This residency program reflects Signal Fire’s dedication to build bridges between environmental advocacy, activism, and art by creating a platform for dialogue with the greater public and Signal Fire supporters. ![]() Signal Fire provides the artist with a modest stipend, logistical support, and gear or other supplies as needed. They work closely with the staff and volunteers in the office and the field to develop a body of work specific to the experience. The selected artist is given an introduction to the environmental organization’s mission with access to current campaigns and the physical office space. In Summer 2015 Signal Fire premiered the Tinderbox Residency, which embeds an artist with a grassroots environmental defense group to produce a body of work in response to the group’s mission or current campaigns. Stay tuned for announcements about our 2020 Tinderbox program in Southern Oregon later this month. ![]() Outpost is on temporary hiatus while we build guide capacity. Signal Fire offers two distinctive residency programs: our flagship program Outpost, which houses artists in canvas wall tents in remote locations on public land, and Tinderbox, which sponsors an artist to work for three months alongside the staff of a grassroots environmental organization.
