[SELF] INSERTIONS | HANDS DIALOGUE
by and with LISI PRADA + JOSE CRUZIO
The research will address different concepts as, for example, the continuous questioning of the “place” as far as artistic creation is concerned, among other aspects. It will bring about both collaborative practices and individual ones, through questions of identity, simulations, materiality and immateriality, place, of the objective and subjective, of the appropriation and re-contextualization, the archive, and, eventually, of the arts in multidisciplinary collaboration, as well as its processes for a new insight and policy in art.
It unfolds in different projects, each one recurring to a dominant artistic subject matter and its media, practices and achievements according to the research lines of each one of them.
