AAMM organizes this residency for artists, curators, and researchers with the aim of providing a creative and reflective space for the production and development of work within the framework of the ruins of Epecuén. We propose an experience in a rural setting, where dialogue between colleagues in territory is promoted through research and creative experience.
We propose residents work around the context and consequently contribute to its enhancement. The objective of this residency is that participants engage in this experience through field research and multidisciplinary artistic processes, finding in group coexistence the possibility of generating exchange through debates and the stimulation of critical thinking.
AMBOS MUNDOS / AAMM is a platform for contemporary art and cultural management. It is an open, collective, and ongoing project that, since 2012, has brought together and worked together with artists and cultural actors, proposing alternatives and generating dialogues in a constantly renewing artistic field. Our daily goal is to create instances of exchange, supporting artistic production and the dissemination of artistic projects, both locally and internationally.
