Residencies & Exhibitions
The principle of artist residence is not new. Since its introduction in antiquity to the present day, artists always had their place in the society. The word comes from the Latin term residence «re sedere» and means be long sitting. It means a dead time for a healing for creation. But also, it is synonymous with a time of testing and the creation of the public confrontation. Through a series of curated exhibitions and cultural programs, collectors and public will have the opportunity to directly access the experience and creation. Interacting with the artists, the viewer becomes an essential part of the creative process.
