This year the Call for Artists in Residence received a total of 280 projects, a slightly higher figure than last year. We would like to thank all those who responded to our call for their interest and for sending their projects.

Acento is a three-day seminar in which the projects carried out during the Artists in Residence programme in 2015 will be presented in public. The idea is also to offer a forum where the artists chosen for the programme in 2016 can meet the artists who have just passed through the experience in 2015.

Artists in Residence ties in with the core programming of LCE and CA2M, and for this reason particular emphasis will be given to project that engage best with the two art centres’ main lines of research and experimentation. Artists in Residence also aims at striking up a dialogue between artists and the main agents associated with the art centres and their respective programmes.

Acento is a project held within the Artists in Residence framework in which some of the projects conceived and developed during the 2016 programme will be presented during a two-day event. The idea is to facilitate a meeting place with the artists in the 2017 programme.

The Artists in Residence programme is organised jointly by La Casa Encendida and CA2M with a mandate to support artistic creation and research centred on performative work with the body. The programme aims at striking up a dialogue between artists and the main agents associated with the art centres and their respective programmes.

Acento es un programa vinculado a Artistas en residencia en el que durante dos jornadas se realizarán presentaciones de algunos de los proyectos llevados a cabo durante las estancias de 2017 y donde se generará un espacio de encuentro con los artistas del 2018. En estos días ambas instituciones quieren poner el acento en la reflexión que parte de la propia investigación artística a través del cuerpo, entendiendo este como cuerpo social, como una construcción política productora de saberes desde lo sensible.
