Description
There is an open call for participating in the second edition of Spring Sessions at Hangar art production and research center based in Barcelona (Spain). The Spring Sessions are intensive and interdisciplinary meetings between artists and other professionals for developing a specific part of a larger research project.
The Spring Sessions provide the opportunity to an artist to invite a professional from another discipline to work together in the development of part of a larger research project within the framework of a one month residency in Hangar. One participant will be based in Barcelona and the other somewhere else. The person based elsewhere will be able to live in Hangar’s guest house during the development of the residency. The duration of the residency will be five weeks in 2014, one between February and April and four during the month of June.
Eligibility
The eligible projects must be ongoing artistic, theoretical or applied research projects that include collaborative processes with other fields such as cultural studies, scientific research or technological development. The part of the project to be developed in Hangar has to include the participation of a professional from another field, selected by the artist.
This year’s edition seeks to support projects that address the issue of transferability in the ACT field (Art, Science and Technology). Hangar understands by transferability:
- The applicability of a result, knowledge or methodology in other contexts.
- Extension/transfer of the meaning of some concepts to other disciplines.
- The process by which a sector assimilates an aspect, property, an attribute of another process and it is partially or completely transformed.

- Artist fee: 2,500 EUR
