OUT OF THE BLUE
An ideas´residency for contemporary photographic practices

During the months of April and May 2019, a new edition of BLANK SPACE will open the Poliglota Hall at Fundación´ace’s house, in an attempt to frame the void and look forward to allow reflection, exchange of ideas and discussion. BLANK SPACE is a residency format that has started in 2017 and which has been successfully developed during three editions. For this fourth edition, and first of 2019, we have invited the curator Mariana Rodríguez Iglesias as coordinator, who has also proposed the theme and the program for it. Mariana will be assisted by the ´ace team, which will be available for consultation along the whole residency.

ABOUT OUT OF THE BLUE (by Mariana Rodríguez Iglesias)
Many times when a work is in its beginnings appears as pure sensation without form, an impossibility to say concretely because the language. In that intuitive moment, does not reach, it is necessary to create it, to give form to the verb.

From out of the blue we will work with oblique exercises, practices that seek to retrace paths and trace senses against the grain. The realization of these experimental exercises will always be followed by a meta-cognition moment, that is, a space-time to understand what was lived, what was learned and how we experienced that experience. It is, therefore, a work residence both practical and theoretical, both individual and collective.

AIMED AT:
The residence is addressed to all those people who are enthusiastic of photography at any stage of their careers and any age (however, Fundación´ace offers one fellowship to applicants under 35 years old).

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
