Oproep inschrijving atelierbezoek drie curatoren van BAR Project uit Barcelona: 19 en 20 januari 2015
Stroom nodigt sinds 2006 regelmatig curatoren, kunstenaars en critici uit binnen- en buitenland uit om atelierbezoeken af te leggen bij Haagse kunstenaars. Het atelierbezoek biedt de kunstenaar de gelegenheid om zich met zijn/ haar werk te presenteren. Het vormt een gelegenheid tot opbouwende kritische reflectie op het werk in een gedachtenwisseling met een gekwalificeerde expert. En in het verlengde hiervan wordt natuurlijk de bekendheid met het werk gestimuleerd.
Op maandag 19 en dinsdag 20 januari a.s. zullen Veronica Valentini, Juan Canela en Andrea Rodriguez Novoa van het curatorencollectief BAR project uit Barcelona, een aantal atelierbezoeken afleggen bij kunstenaars in Den Haag. Interessegebieden van de curatoren van BAR project zijn: feminism, gender studies, social interaction, politics, performance, live events, new technologies, community building, independent publishing. Artist practices can include sculpture, site-specific work, sound, film, language based, new media.
Als u geïnteresseerd bent in een gezamenlijk atelierbezoek van Veronica Valentini, Andrea Rodriguez Novoa en Juan Canela kunt u dat uiterlijk vrijdag 2 januari a.s. laten weten via een email bericht aan Natascha Helmer: nhelmer@stroom.nl
Wij vragen u daarbij om uw interesse voor het bezoek kort te motiveren in het Engels.
De binnengekomen reacties worden samen met suggesties vanuit Stroom aan BAR voorgelegd. Uit de lijst zullen zij een keuze maken op basis waarvan het bezoekprogramma zal worden samengesteld.
BAR project
BAR project is an independent, mobile and non-profit organization dedicated to promote artistic exchange through local, national and international residencies and collaborations, and by developing a public program issued from curatorial and research projects.BAR project is a curatorial collective wishing to promote new relationships and ways of working, by expanding their scope and encouraging different initiatives from those already established. BAR project wishes to initiate long-term collaborations with projects that share affinities regarding BAR's main points of interest by running an international residency program for artists and curators in Barcelona. This activity is conceived as a platform for the internationalization of the local context and a way of connecting artists and agents from a critical and independent perspective. BAR project gets its name from one of the quintessential social gathering places in our culture in order re-contextualize it and be able to work from there. That place is the popular coffee and beer bar, thought as the right scenario in order to conceive our lines of thought.BAR project uses hospitality as its working method, thinking this as an idea and strategy, as a spirit, an attitude and mode of action.BAR project is initiated by the independent curators Juan Canela, Andrea Rodriguez Novoa and Veronica Valentini.
