Centro de Investigaciones Artísticas

EL CENTRO de Investigaciones Artísticas is a physical and virtual space of interaction and debate for artists and thinkers from around the world, particularly those in Latin America and Spain.
The purpose of el CENTRO is to provide critical tools for the formation and development of the artistic community in order to intervene in the constantly redefined cultural map of the moment. The work of el CENTRO goes beyond the frontiers of genres and disciplines, with an emphasis on those that expand the borders of practice, genre and media; those that propose new ways of production, of exhibition and exchange; those that explore broader social contexts than the institutionalized one.
Writers, musicians, philosophers, architects, designers, film-makers, historians, psychoanalysts, technologists, performers, photographers, visual artists, and theatrical artists, among many others, will converge at el CENTRO.
The activities will have a strong pedagogical component based on historic research and art theory conducted virtually and physically.
In August 2009, a wide-ranging program of courses, workshops, seminars, presentations and conferences will commence at el CENTRO’s headquarters.

Applications are welcomed every six months, from which an international jury will select 20 grantees. They will participate in workshops with international artists focused on the development of special projects and will have access to all of the activities.

All conferences are open to the general public free of charge. Seminars, courses and workshops are also accessible for a small fee.

All of the activities and work product will be made freely accessible to all online.

A residency program for artists based abroad will be held in association with international institutions.

el CENTRO de Investigaciones Artísticas is located at Tucumán 3754, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
