Programme
– Halfhouse (Barcelona) is a combination of home and art space for exchange and artistic communications. One of the aims is to prioritise working directly with artists, supporting their productions and the critical development of their programming. Halfhouse is an initiative of the artists Sinéad Spelman and Alberto Peral.
– Gio Bat is a project of the artist Manu Uranga that analyses physical production by means of body and gesture, in the material relationship with the place through technological supports and their dynamics. From the beginning of this year and in collaboration with Pablo Marte, Gio Bat has developed a number of exhibitions of different artists in Bilbao.
– Uma Certa Falta de Coerência is an exhibition space in Porto directed by the artists André Sousa and Mauro Cerqueira. They took its name from the title of a book by the artist Jimmie Durham (A Certain Lack of Coherence), in which one can read a text entitled: “Artists must begin helping themselves”.
