halfhouse 2016

The technical committee of eremuak and members of Halfhouse, awarded the Halfhouse 2016 residency to Josu Bilbao Ugalde.

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

The residency took place between 1 August and 30 September in the Halfhouse art space in Barcelona, and finished with the Esaná exhibition by the artist at the same venue, which was  inaugurated on 1 October 12 o’clock.

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.
