Residency Programme 'Rethinking the Container', Centro Huarte

Centro Huarte and hablarenarte: announce an open call for a 1+2 month residency (timeframe phase I: January – February 2017, timeframe phase II: April-June 2017) in Huarte, Pamplona, Spain.

The call is part of the activities of the Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme (CAPP) and seeks artists and other cultural and social agents who are working in this field of artistic practice to research and work around the building of Centro Huarte (CACH).

Until now, the Centro Huarte has been a large exhibition center in Huarte, a small town near Pamplona, located in natural surroundings in Northern Spain. The center has always experienced difficulties due to the fact that local inhabitants saw no reason for such a place to exist in their town. The four new directors propose to completely transform the Center's structure and function, in order to define it as a space for artistic research and production.

This residency opportunity allows creators to contribute experiences, concepts and nascent ideas to this process of co-management. A unique opportunity to rethink the functioning of an art institution from the ground up.

The goals of the residency:
- To carry out a joint research with a group of local collaborators to address the new needs of Centro Huarte and its relation to the local structures.
- To present and carry out a collaborative art project based on the previously analyzed needs.

The call is open for artists, architects, cultural agents, sociologists or social workers who are interested in the borders between disciplines from a practical and/or theoretical viewpoint, and whose working approaches includes collaboration.

Applicants should currently live in one of the countries of the CAPP-network: England, Finland, Germany, Hungary or Ireland

- to ensure the implementation of the residency in collaboration with the resident
