Farmwork is an art/life practice that focuses on living holistically and creatively. It includes an emphasis on local thinking and working, collaboration and community, and creative spiritual development. Summerwork is yearly workshop/retreat that takes place in rural Wisconsin at the home and studio of Douglas Rosenberg and Li Chiao-Ping. Much of the farmwork project springs from this week-long convergence of artists in the first week of August. The philosophical background of Farmwork is far-reaching, but is inspired by the work of artists such as Alan Kaprow and historical moments including Black Mountain College and other collaborative projects.
