WEEK #1
The Artist in Residence Program has started! Last week we welcomed the 4 resident artists: Lena Wurz from Germany, Patricio Tejedo from Mexico, Victor Gonçalves from Brasil and Josephine Jessen from Denmark. This first week has been very productive, the artists found the time and inspiration to start developing their own projects surrounded by the tranquility and peace of nature. We also enjoyed great meals, shared very interesting ideas and feedbacks and chatting with the sunsets. More to come!
WEEK #2
This week has been very intense! Artists have worked intensively on their projects and progressing towards the exhibition. We did Studio Visits at Nectar with the artists and on Tuesday we went to Barcelona for a one-day visit to see exhibitions & art spaces. We visited La Capella and it's current exhibition Agrilogística by Gerard Ortín, the ADN gallery and Espronceda Institute of Art & Culture to get to know the space where the artists will have the show, welcomed by the co-founder Savina Tarsitano. Thank you all for your time and generosity, we had a great day!
WEEK #3
Last week of our artist residency and what a decisive one! Having a final exhibition at Espronceda Institute of Art & Culture (Barcelona) was definitely a good motivation for the artists in order to be able to push theirselves to go beyond their limitation and to work with deadlines and goals. During the weekend, we had a great OPEN STUDIO day with friends and guests and a nice lunch in the terrace. Patricio, Josephine, Lena and Victor presented their work in progress.
Time to pack the artworks, which travelled from Nectar straight to Espronceda, where the day after the artists and Nectar's team displayed their projects.
Thank you to Savina Tarsitano to believing in new collaborations and thanks to the artists for their amazing projects and to all that stopped by at the opening, it was a success!
For the finissage of "Fuera(de)forma" exhibition we organized a talk between the resident artists Josephine Lau Jessen, Lena Wurz, the co-founder of Nectar and curator Olga Sureda and the co-founder of Espronceda and artist Savina Tarsitano.
It was a great "ending" for the Nectar residency program, and we couldn't be happier!
