At El Muro, we’ve assembled the projects—which are still taking shape under the supervision of Aitana Cordero—of the artists selected to participate in our 2019 residency programme: Mar Reykjavik, Laila Tafur & Alba Rihe, Andrea Zavala, Magdalena Orellana, Bárbara Hang & Ana Laura Lozza, Marc Vives, Sandra Gómez & Javier Vela and Laura Kalauz.
Artistas en Residencia is a unique programme that began at La Casa Encendida in 2004, initially in partnership with Aula de Danza Estrella Casero at the University of Alcalá de Henares and later with the CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo. Since then, it has supported approximately 150 artists.
An open call is issued each autumn, and the chosen artists are given the space, advice and financial support they need to develop physical, spatial and conceptual concepts that will contribute to the growth of contemporary art. Additionally, with a view to promoting and publicising the works created during the residencies, the annual Acento festival offers participants a chance to publicly present their projects.
