Kiosko Galería
The art residency program began in May 2007 with the purpose of creating a meeting and collaboration space for artists, curators and researchers focused on addressing relevant and urgent issues around contemporary art. The organisers are interested in co-cultivating social transformation through artistic practices and the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Expected results of the artistic residencies and curatorial projects are one public talk and one exhibition or a final public presentation during the period of the residency. At the end of the residency, a report of the experience must be submitted with photographic documentation of the process.
The shared non-specialized workspace is spacious, well-lit, white and clear walls and has two large desks to work from.
The artist stays in the KIOSKO project´s three-story building, where all the space´s activities are carried out (exhibitions, workshops, talks and more). There is a public social courtyard at the entrance and one at the back. For the residents there are two single bedrooms with private bathroom, wardrobe, desk and air conditioning (if lucky, one of the rooms has private balcony). There is a kitchen and a living room: Common spaces to share.
