Open Call 2024 #2
19.02.24 15.05.24
Our residencies are aimed to professional and emerging artists of all nationalities and stages of their career, being in any artistic discipline related to the visual arts, sound and performance media looking forward their possible hybridizations.
´ace support artists who need time, technical knowledge, equipment and / or feedback from their peers to produce and / or think about an artistic project. Our actions seek to generate a transformative process that feeds the resident artists with new experiences and knowledge allowing them to find new paths or delve into artistic content relevant to their work.
The name of the program ´acePIRAR | Artist’in’Residence International Program is a word play with the initials of the name (´ace x “hace” to do in Spanish) and of the program (PIRAR in Spanish) with “pirar”, a word belonging to the Argentine lunfardo (slang). Thus, it appropriates its double meaning: “to leave / to move suddenly to other place” and “to turn suddenly a little crazy”. The residences encourage the possibility of migrating from artists´ own sphere of creation to position themselves in a different one seeking new inspirations, as well as allowing themselves a “crazy” ebullition of ideas, within a space of freedom, surrounded by other artists, curators and specialists.
Since 2005, numerous visual artists and creators (including performers and sound artists) from the United States (including Alaska), Zimbabwe, Australia (including Tasmania), South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Canadá, UK, Sweden, France, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar, India, Malaysia, South Africa, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Israel, New Zealand and The Netherlands, among others, have participated as artists-in-residence within international projects, special events and presentations at the ‘aceNITES.
