During the summer of 2022, Maggie Groat & Ella Dawn McGeough were artists in residence at La Datcha working closely with Jessica Groome. For the months of July and August, La Datcha was transformed through a whirlwind of activity: sweeping, raking, weeding, watering, observing, playing, searching for spiders, renovating, gathering, assembling, watching, arriving and making. The culmination of their collaborative activities resulted in the exhibition The Future is Dark... I Think part of the Project Space Festival Berlin.
Maggie Groat's research and travel for the residency was generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts and by the Regan Peacock Fung Memorial Art Fund, awarded by the Niagara Artists Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario.
