Mission Statement Work Progress Collective (WPC) is a hybrid identity,
equal parts artist, journalist, political activist, archivist, and
curious observer. WPC acknowledges the contemporary condition of art
making; looking beyond the traditional artistic boundaries that place
participants inside or outside, the model considers an active,
implicated audience, performing collectively. In its current
incarnation, WPC is a working agency, referential of a modern day Farm
Security Administration documentation initiative. About Us WPC is a
New York based agency, founded in 2009. WPC founders Erica Leone,
Heather M. O’Brien, and Felisia Tandiono were recently granted an
LMCC SwingSpace residency, which will house the WPC headquarters from
March - July 2010 on Governors Island. The collective also
participated in the Creative Time/PS1 Open Door Program this past
January. Included in this close-knit, New York based collaborative are
three individuals with diverse national, educational, and professional
backgrounds (including photography, film, installation, music,
finance, and economics). For WPC founders, this is the first time for
each individual to immerse themselves in a collaborative project;
through trust, respect, and professionalism the group seeks to evoke a
collective experience that can be shared with others.
