Quinzena d'art

Espai nyamnyam is once again opening a paid call for eight participants to take part in the Mieres Art Fortnight. This third edition will take the form of three gatherings (from Friday to Sunday) during the autumn-winter of 2025. It is a transdisciplinary training and professionalization programme, part of the project ‘We Live in a Devoured World’.

In 2025, the programme will focus on changes in scopic, aesthetic, and political regimes, proposing a – pause – in the image flow in which we are immersed, and exploring how this could be addressed through transdisciplinarity. To this end, artists, curators, and researchers Marta Azparren, Felix Blume, and Mette Edvarsen have been invited to contribute content and lead each of the three gatherings.

The proposal offers a context centred on contemporary artistic practice, based on transdisciplinary research approached through collectivity and regeneration. The programme aims to focus on tools or infrastructures, in dialogue with tradition and the concept of the “mas” or farmhouse as a centre of production.

In addition to attending the Art Fortnight on the proposed dates, the programme includes a research and creation residency for each selected participant during the first quarter of 2026.

We believe that in the current sociopolitical moment, it is essential to work on generating hybrid spaces that provide real contexts for encounters between what we call ‘training’ and what later becomes professionalization in the field of art and culture. Today, we live in societies where learning is a continuous practice imposed upon us and required in all areas as the accumulation of necessary information. In this reality, it is more urgent than ever to insist on wild, unaligned, slow, frustrating, shared, and forgotten forms of learning. Learning that creates its own learning. That is why the Mieres Art Fortnight embraces all these concerns, aiming to be an inclusive and intersectional context, opening these workshops to diverse people and fostering creation, practices, and contemporary cultural processes.
