Planta Alta. Eliana Otta residency

Madrid

Madrid

In september we start Planta Alta, our residency program, based at Madrid city center.

The first project is a collaboration with the curator Violeta Janeiro, entitled The city of bodies that indulge in it (La ciudad de los cuerpos que disfrutan). In this project, we question the ways of living that articulates the urban fabric in order to propose new ones through support societies and other transforming forces that can revive it. The residents, from 2019 until 2020, will be organized in four research and thinking categories:

  • The states of spirits that produce the crisis
  • The imaginary that derives from a cooperation urbanism
  • The responsability of creating further than our parents
  • The joy of eldership

The first resident will be the artist and researcher Eliana Otta, which will develop a project about crisis, silence and hearing as learning and curatorial processes. During her residency, between september 12-26, we will host activities such as workshops and visits at Planta Alta.
