(conditions below)
The Residency
Nectar is a non-profit cultural organization located in the midst of nature in the off-the-grid 16th-century farmhouse, surrounded by endless forest inside Les Guilleries Natural Park, about 1h and 30min drive north from Barcelona.
In its Artist Residency Program, Nectar will work in collaboration with ON MEDIATION_Platform on Curatorship and Research, an initiative of the Research Group Art Globalization Interculturality (AGI) from the University of Barcelona.
The artists will have the chance to present their work in an Open Studio event and gather along with On Mediation team and guests from the local art scene, enabling a space of conversation and feed-back. On Mediation team will write a short text about each artist’s work that will be used for the exhibition brochure and published at OMMagazine.
The culmination of the residency will be a one month exhibition in FUNDACIÓN IDEOGRAMA artistic and cultural space, located inside the Fàbrica Lehmann, a cultural factory and creative lung located in the heart of the city, where the artists will present their works within the artistic Barcelona scene. The opening will be on June 27th 2019
The artists will have a one year agreement with KOYAC of the works produced during the residency, which will be put on sale through their online platform, aimed to promote and encourage art collecting among new audiences.
In partnership with art galleries around Europe, they make art collecting easy and accessible through education, advisory and the online sale of curated selections of artworks, in order to break the walls that would prevent the general public from diving into the art world.
A one-day visit to exhibitions, art spaces, artist’s studios or other events in Barcelona will be organized by Nectar’s team. During their residency, the artists will have access to Nectar’s administrative and human support and to its network with local artistic and cultural community.
