Location

Hangar’s headquarters are in a building -loaned by the Barcelona City Council- that is located in the Can Ricart complex, an industrial environment within the Poblenou neighbourhood in Barcelona. The architecture is from the mid 19th Century, and was originally designed for the textile industry. Up until the closure of industrial activity in 1991, different companies established themselves in the building that Hangar now occupies.

At present, and after the centre was extended to the adjacent warehouses, the buildings used by Hangar cover a total surface of 2,600 m2, and are distributed in the following way:

  • the first building was the first to be occupied by the centre and takes up a total surface of 1,800 m2, distributed along two open plan floors. The space includes 15 individual artist studio spaces; a co-working space with 9 spaces; two multi-purpose rooms, and an area that houses the centre’s offices.
  • a second warehouse, ‘the Ricsson’, mainly houses a multi-purpose sound stage, comprised of a sound stage of approximately 150 m2, changing rooms, a production room, and control rooms.
  • a third building, known as Microfugues, contains the video, image, programming, streaming, and interactivity labs; a multi-purpose room, and a classroom.
  • a residency with 4 bedrooms.
