Centro Huarte

Centro Huarte

Floor 3 of the Centro Huarte
Description

Located in Huarte (Navarra), 4.5 km from the center of Pamplona, the Huarte Center, inaugurated in October 2007, is the first cultural facility in Navarra specifically designed to promote and disseminate contemporary art through exhibitions, activities, and residencies, paying special attention to the current art scene, emerging art, and multidisciplinary creation.

The building was designed by the architects Franc Fernández, Carles Puig, and Xavi Vancells, a collective created for the practice of contemporary architecture established in Barcelona. The construction was completed in 2006, and the official opening was held in April 2007.

Initially managed by the Ordóñez-Falcón Foundation, chaired by Enrique Ordóñez until 2009, who envisioned an art center that would transcend the merely exhibition space, linking artistic practice with education and reaching new audiences.

After the Government of Navarra became the manager of the Huarte Center and it underwent an impasse, in 2011 Javier Manzanos was elected director, who promoted several pedagogical projects, as well as local projects, dance, and other exhibition works.

From August 2016 until August 2022, the Center was directed by a collective of women formed by Elisa Arteta, Nerea de Diego, Betisa Ojanguren, and Oskia Ugarte, mainly focused on the creative process rather than the exhibition product.

Since the end of 2022, the Foundation has approved Oskia Ugarte's solo management project, which continues to advocate for a center for artistic production, education, and research with a commitment to relate the different contemporary artistic agents to the community through mediation.

2023 Open Call:

IDENSITAT and Centro Huarte will each offer a residency to an artist or a collective to develop a project within the social contexts of the towns of Huarte and Barcelona. The residencies have been conceived as hybrid, combining on-site presence with any off-site work to ensure the completion of the project. The on-site period will last approximately five weeks, to be carried out between September and December 2023, t.b.d. according to the availability of the selected artist or collective and the promoting organisations, depending on the project, with the further possibility of fulfilling the five-week period non-concurrently.

Outcome

From this call for submissions, two proposals will be selected for the two temporary residencies, one in Huarte and the other in Barcelona. The aim of each residency is to define a research and creation project based on the proposed theme. The results may be presented publicly in each of the working contexts, according to the nature of each project.

Technical Information

The project will be carried out within a five-week residency, divided into one stay of 1 or 2 weeks, and a later period of 3 or 4 weeks’ stay, both to take place between September and December 2023, the details to be specified taking into consideration the availability of the selected artist or group and the promoting organisations. The spaces available for the presentation of results and the performance of activities related to the project will be, apart from the Centro Huarte itself, the venues managed by the Mancomunidad de la Comarca de Pamplona (Commonwealth of the Pamplona Region), the Batán and the Molino de San Andrés (Atarrabia- Villava).

Location

The town of Huarte, where the Huarte Contemporary Art Centre is located, stands next to the towns of Burlada and Villava on the outskirts of Pamplona. The three localities follow the course of the river Arga, which has generated historical and cultural links between the three towns. In recent years, the boundaries between natural, rural and urban areas in these towns have been modified, due to urban spread and population growth, the conversion of allotment gardens into leisure spaces, and the flow and periodic overspills of the river. This geographical enclave, framed by the flow of the river in connection with its natural and urban ecosystems, defines the specific working context.
