Art & Technology - Residency opportunity
LPEP is an independent space whose objective is the promotion of dialogue between artists of different disciplines and nationalities, as well as between art and society at large, with a specific interest in projects focusing on Art and Politics. LPEP offers a workspace for the research, production and exhibition of works in the local circuit. We also offer contacts and connections with institutions related to art and culture (galleries, museums, artists, cultural centers and alternative spaces) as suits the needs of each artist-resident. For the current cycle, we offer the opportunity to exhibit in the Centro Cultural Recoleta from Buenos Aires, in the exposition “Fase Art, technology and post-ecology” in March 2012.
