English: Some of the activities we were invited to attend in the period of Low Residency 2017 seemed like a game, a play. We were "provoked" to perform in two days a collective artwork at the South Kiosk Gallery "reacting" to the work 'We will meet in the place where is in darkness', a luminous… Continue reading Moving Light

Stillness and Movement
English: During the Low Residency period, we had the pleasure of talking with German artist and researcher living in London Sigune Hamann, who works primarily with photography and video. Her inspiration comes from different sources, and one of the main motivations in her work is in the interest of observing people and engaging in moments,… Continue reading Stillness and Movement
Lovely Repulsion
English: It is interesting that some moments and artistic works can leave a mark on us by repulsion. This is what happened to me at the little 'Wot U 🙂 About' exhibit of the young Scottish artist Rachel Maclean at TATE Britain in London. The room, near to the entrance of the historical and traditional… Continue reading Lovely Repulsion

We were the first students to have access to the new school building and we had the challenge of collecting as much material as possible in 2 hours and then presenting it to the rest of the class. Photos, Videos, Sounds, Drawings of the… Continue reading Empty Space
Memory and glitter
English: This morning we had a different encounter, the English artist Chila Burman invited us to visit her studio in East London. It’s a pleasant space, illuminated by two large windows overlooking the street. Organized intuitively by the artist, finished and in-process works vie for the places between walls, boxes and scattered piles. A couch,… Continue reading Memory and glitter
Organizing my Thoughts
English: This will be a relatively short and informal post. Just a brief notification. Or maybe an outburst. It's time. I feel that I am slowly and belatedly stopping to procrastinate and beginning to face one of my greatest fears. Maybe people think I'm afraid to expose myself, to make mistakes, to grow up or… Continue reading Organizing my Thoughts
