Artists in residence

During this three-day event some of the projects conceived and developed during the 2020 programme will be presented and a meeting place will be facilitated with the artists in the 2021-2022 programme. Over these days the two organising institutions wish to place the accent on ideas that arose during artistic experimentation using the body, understanding it as the social body and a political construct that produces knowledge through the senses.

The exhibition presenting the projects will be held on May 12, 13 and 14 at La Casa Encendida and at CA2M.

The artists selected in 2020 were: Pablo Araya, Clara Best y Siwar Peralta, Amaia Bono and Damián Montesdeoca, Luz Broto, Jacobo Cayetano García Fouz, Clara García Fraile, Iniciativa sexual femenina, Sofía Montenegro and Amaranta Velarde.

CALL CLOSED

Artistas en residencia is a programme organised jointly by La Casa Encendida, CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo and, from 2020, MACBA, whose goal is to support creation and experimentation focused on performative work with the body. The programme is conceived to dovetail with the regular programme of LCE, CA2M and MACBA, and for this reason the projects chosen are those that best fit in with the art centres’ lines of research and experimentation. Artists in Residence also provides an opportunity to strike up a dialogue between creators and other agents associated with the art centres and their respective programmes.

This year the call received a total of 381 projects. We would like to thank all applicants for their interest in the call and for sending us their projects. The artists selected for the Artists in Residence 2020 programme are:
