AADK Spain is now calling for applications from artists and artistic-researchers working with duration in significant and evocative ways.
Conceived and founded in 2020 by durational performance artist and scholar Dr. Raegan Truax, ON DURATION supports durational artists to engage in creative research and site-responsive public praxis. The summer residency opportunity curated by Dr. Truax will bring together an intergenerational, international, and interdisciplinary group of artists.
During the residency period, the focus is on your creative and artistic growth. Participating artists are invited to work site responsively in nature, surrounded by rocky mountains, the Segura River, and citrus orchards. Everyone has access to several studio spaces housed in the belly of a mountain (Centro Negra) where you can intensify explorations of time, space, body and environment. The unique location of AADK Spain and collaboration with Dr. Truax also invites deepening your praxis with group workshops, 1:1 mentoring, and feedback sessions relative to: body materiality and sustainability/endurance, aesthetics and politics, territory and temporality, interspecies ecologies, deep time, speculative time, ecosomatics, and site-responsive artistic research.
One and two month residency periods are offered to selected artists who, together with Dr. Truax, will take over Centro Negra Art Center during the months of July, August, and September 2025.
DEADLINE TO APPLY: JANUARY 10, 2025

5) remain curious and open to discovering new aspects of their work
