I took part in the online presentation and panel discussion for ‘Art residences: Time and the pandemic’, a virtual gathering organized by Xarxaprod, the network of artistic production centers of Catalonia, Spain. The event was curated by Pau Cata, and the guests of the morning session were Raquel Friera and Xavier Bassas, founders of Instituto del Tiempo Suspendido, Oscar Dasí, director of La Caldera and myself.
The gathering aimed at showcasing best practices in the field of art residencies, with a particular attention to a trans-national and post-virtual perspective in order to envision new modes to understand art residencies. The panel conversation I took part in revolved around experimental perspectives on time and alternative institutional structures.
