halfhouse 2018

The technical committee of eremuak and members of Halfhouse, awarded the Halfhouse 2018 residency to Leo Burge.

eremuak, in collaboration with Halfhouse, was calling for applications for a residency for artists from or residents in the Basque Autonomous Community. The proposal aims to support artists and/or creators working in the context of the visual arts.

The residency will took place between July 15th and September 15th in the Halfhouse space in Barcelona, and culminated with an exhibition by the artist at the same venue, within the Art Nou 2018, which was inaugurated on September 15th, from 12:00pm. At 12:30 Leire Vergara, Iñaki Imaz and Maider López presented the eremuak project.

Halfhouse is a non-profit space that develops projects within the artistic sphere. Since its founding in 2009, and through 2018, the project has been developed in the home of its pioneers, artists Sinéad Spelman and Alberto Peral. During this time, national and international artists have presented their work and led workshops at Halfhouse, with artist residencies having always been an important aspect of the space’s activities. Since 2016, Halfhouse has had a collaborative residency agreement with eremuak to invite an artist and/or creators from the Basque Country each year.
