Proyecto´ace Artist-in-Residence International Program

About the Open Call

Being in residence at ´ace means working collaboratively, receiving technical and conceptual assistance from a professional team and being immersed in the vibrant cultural life of the city of Buenos Aires. During their working period, residents will benefit from intense production and / or research time, enriched by the exchange of ideas and experiences with their colleagues. The residences offer a trained professional team and a unique infrastructure, providing individual support to each resident and enabling the development of their artistic production. In turn, the residency is extended after its completion, as we accompany the results obtained by including it in various networks of world-class local and international workspaces and platforms, facilitating its anchorage with other artistic and social sectors. The name of the program, ´acePIRAR, is a play on Spanish words. It combines ´ace (from “hace,” meaning “to do” in Spanish) with the initials of the program (Programa Internacional de Residencias ARtísticas). Additionally, it incorporates _pirar_ , a term from Argentine _lunfardo_ (slang) that means both “to leave or move suddenly” and “to go a little crazy.” This concept reflects the essence of our residencies, which encourage artists to step beyond their usual creative fields, seeking new inspiration. At the same time, they provide a space for an intense, free-flowing exchange of ideas among fellow artists, curators, and specialists.

What is Offered

Technical and conceptual assistance, connections with national and international artists, curators, and cultural organizations, intense production and/or research time, exchange of ideas and experiences, support from a professional team and unique infrastructure, individual support, and inclusion in local and international networks and platforms post-residency.
