Open Think Tank 2025. Case Study: CLUB9
OPEN THINK TANK
Open Think Tank is a particular annual cycle of symposia from which CLUB9 publicly and openly shares a professional debate regarding its own ongoing projects.
In many of the previous editions, the conferences have analyzed, as a specific case study NauEstruch, the platform’s production space, within the framework of a general reflection on the metropolitan ecosystem of visual arts and the context of contemporary performance practices.
In the different editions of Open Think Tank, since 2010 and curated by Oscar Abril Ascaso, curators, managers, researchers, critics or artists such as Pau Alsina, Judit Vidiella, José Luis de Vicente, Alexandra Laudo, Rubén Martínez, Marina Garcés, Oscar Cornago, Núria Gomez or Marc Vives have participated.
OPEN THINK TANK 2025
Between February and March of this year, CLUB9 and Planta Uno are organizing the OPEN THINK TANK 2025 symposium, from which they open a public and open reflection on the CLUB9 platform and its present and future projects, within the framework of a general analysis of the current metropolitan ecosystem of contemporary performance practices.
With this objective, CLUB9 and #plantauno invite artists, managers, researchers, or interested people in current performance practices, as well as those responsible for other platforms and spaces specialized in this particular field of contemporary visual arts, to participate in this debate framework.

CLUB9 is a cultural platform specialized in the promotion of performance practices from the contexts of contemporary visual arts. In parallel, CLUB9 develops research and analysis projects around current performativity studies.
Based on this specificity and with these objectives, CLUB9 collaborates in the development of research, production, exhibition, exchange, education and mediation projects around contemporary performance arts and performativity studies.
Since 2020, CLUB9 has organized the metropolitan performance arts exhibition days ARTefACTe, directs the performance artists’ representation office PARACAIGUDISME and has curated the production space for performance practices and studies of performativity NAUESTRUCH in L’Estruch until last year.
