A team to operate in iconographic, literary, musical repertoires. To propose self-taught practices and the publication of interim results for discussion. To carry authorship situations inexperience, humor, appropriation. To disperse the results in space, time and distribution channels, making it difficult to deactivation by the presentation context.

The Joan Miró Foundation takes part in the IN RESIDENCY project through the programme at the Espai 13 (Space 13) exhibition site at the foundation itself. Over the 2016-2017 period, Espai 13 hosts the exhibition season “Peu a fora. Expedicions i diàspores” (One Foot Out. Expeditions and Diasporas), curated by Jordi Antas. The starting point for this cycle is the voluntary displace of a community from its place of birth and growth. In this case, the shows focus on emerging Catalan artists. The season presents a snapshot of the Catalan art scene from a position of distance, inviting artists to explore different options for professional development and observing how this affects their work in a series of six complementary but independent episodes. Although “One Foot Out. Expeditions and Diasporas” does not open until autumn 2016, through its education department and in cooperation Jordi Antas, the Miró Foundation participates in the seventh edition IN RESIDENCY by connecting the programme to the exhibition cycle. This cooperation will span two seasons, the present edition and the following period (2015-2017).

The project proposed for this seventh edition of IN RESIDENCY is based on a reversed or opposite path to that suggested by the exhibition season at Espai 13: a visual artist from elsewhere who is installed in the Catalan context in general and on the Barcelona art scene in particular will be taking part in the IN RESIDENCY programme.
