Aimed at experienced young curators, the cross-residency program prioritizes the development of research work, with special emphasis on issues related to interaction with the public, without imposing any predefined form. The curatorial project will determine the possible results and propose the process of reflection between the invited curator and the guidelines of the institution of destination.
For this first edition, the jury has selected the candidates Émilie Flory (France, 1977) and Andrea Rodríguez Novoa (Spain, 1979) who, in June 2017 respectively, will spend a month's residence in La Casa Encendida in Madrid and Two months CAPC Contemporary Art Museum of Bordeaux.
This residence will cross the two institutions, their axes and artistic contexts, the places and countries in which they work and the cultural life of each city through specific meetings with artists and other professionals of the industry (curators, critics, galleries, collectors, etc.).
Both institutions support with this program the priority of residencies for the creation and contemporary research in the arts, the development of the sector and its networking.
