Inhabited Space @Art Market Fair

Espacio Habitado (Inhabited Space) was an encounter of 22 artistic residencies from Argentina and the Southamerican region (Bolivia, Brasil y Chile) within the 2016 edition of the Art Fair Mercado de Arte, in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. Daniela Ruiz Moreno, coordinator of the ´acePIRAR program, was present in Espacio Habitado representing Fundación´ace and the ´acePIRAR | Artists-in-Residency International Program. During three days, there were different activities as talks, conferences and meetings in the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Universidad Provincial de Córdoba and in the Town Hall.

It was a very positive encounter in which the projects’ representatives could  understand the diversity of the artistic residencies that exist in the country and the region. They also got to know the different and shared problematics, exchange experiences and anecdotes in order to start to outline a collective action with the aim of making visible the residencies as an important part of the cultural scene and making each project stronger through the collective action.

Within all the activities it was also included the Espacio Habitado exhibition, a special section in which some selected residency spaces showed their work: Manta (Neuquén), La Pinguela (Misiones) and Puente (Salta y Buenos Aires).
