RESIDENCIA EPECUÉN invites you to apply for its 16th edition, which will take place from November 12th.to 25th, 2024, on the shores of Lake Epecuén in Buenos Aires, Argentina, intended for artists, researchers, and curators interested in situated practices.
The purpose of this residency is to provide a space for creation and reflection around the ruins of Epecuén, its lagoon, and the city of Carhué. Participants will explore the context through field research and training proposals, promoting exchange, debate, and critical thinking in a group coexistence of fourteen days.
The training program includes workshops and theoretical classes focused on situated practices, support, debates, and production support, and an exhibition of processes open to the community.
We encourage the participation of artists, curators, and researchers from various backgrounds and ages, promoting the exchange and development of processes.
The residency promotes the exploration of individual and/or collective poetics within the Argentine pampas, contributing to enrich the historical, social, cultural, and environmental heritage. We create opportunities for dialogue and exchange between residents and the Carhué community, understanding contemporary art as a means to rethink, question, and work on memory, territory, identity, ruin, landscape, among others.
Participation in the program offers the possibility of follow-up for projects, promotion, exhibition, and commercialization of work, encouraging dialogue between residents and the local and international art scene.
Application deadline: August 1st
We invite artists, curators, researchers, and national and international collectives to apply, who address their work in relation to Art and Territory.
