Sant Andreu Contemporani
SAC International Curatorial Residency Programme 2023 is the residency programme at Barcelona’s Sant Andreu Contemporani, in collaboration with Fabra i Coats - Fàbrica de Creació and Institut Ramon Llull and open to international curators. As part of the programme, the organisers announced an open call for proposals to choose an international curator who will be part of the Miquel Casablancas Prize for the Visual Arts’ jury in 2022, and will later develop a curatorial project with a selection of Catalan artists chosen from applicants to the prize. The organisers covers the expenses of jurying the prize and for the curatorial proposal (1700€ subject to applicable taxes), for the production of the exhibition (2000€ subject to applicable taxes), accommodation and travel.
The project must be presented at the country of residence of the curator or in another international venue that she/he decides. The purpose of the open call is to offer the curator personal knowledge of the art context through involvement in the jury of the Miquel Casablancas Prize, and to foster, in the context of young art talent, future collaborations between local and foreign cultural actors.
The curator will be provided with a working space at Barcelona’s Fabra i Coats – Fàbrica de Creació the month of April, 2023. Access hours are: Monday to Fridays from 9:00am to 10:00pm, and Saturdays from 10:00am to 9:00pm. The curator can extend her/his stay another month. She/he can continue using the assigned space but will not receive more remuneration than agreed.
The curatorial project must be presented in the country of residence of the selected curator or in another country with which she/he has links. To fulfil this requirement is essential that the curator submits documentation about the venue, centre or gallery where the works will be later presented, and the agreements reached with the head in charge of the institution. The project must be developed during a month between 06.15.2023 and 12.10.2023.
