Description

Entitled Expanded Field, the 3rd cycle of Itinera Arte’s International Artist Residency Program proposes a critical and sensitive investigation into practices that take shape at the intersection of languages, media, and regimes of visibility. The title directly evokes the notion of the “expanded field” formulated by modern and contemporary art historian Rosalind Krauss in her seminal essay Sculpture in the Expanded Field (1979), in which the author identifies the collapse of traditional categories of sculpture and the emergence of practices operating within an expanded territory.

Description

For the past decades, Associação Novas Descobertas has been a space for regenerative practice and education for people of all ages, with a focus on ecosocial regeneration, organic farming, collective practice, and community living.

Now, for the first time, we are opening this space to 5 professional artists from all disciplines whose practices relate to ecology and new social imaginaries.

We are looking for professional artists who work independently, while also being open to conversation, cultural sensitivity, collaborative processes, and living within a communal structure shaped by ecological practices, permaculture, regenerative approaches, and organic farming.

The programme is a space for collective practice, individual artistic research time, mentoring, conversations, walking, observation, listening practices, ecological practices in the vegetable gardens and green spaces, and exchange with the local context.

We would also love to organise public sharings, talks, and conversations with the local community in the region and in Lagos.
