About Hangar

Hangar is a centre engaged in maintaining (generating, updating, reviewing and supporting) the necessary conditions to facilitate art research and production, specifically in the sense of critical exploration and artistic practices that address the urgent issues currently facing society and contribute to the associated debates. For Hangar, art is a way of producing knowledge. It therefore regards art research as a research category in its own right, with its own way of finding and producing knowledge. Hangar seeks to support content creators at every stage of their art research and production processes, by providing them with a wide array of tools and services (some of which are managed by Hangar and others by its resident collectives), helping them access the conceptual, contextual, semiotic, material and technical resources they need, and offering a setting for experimenting and for the free transfer of knowledge.

 
The following resources for shared use during the residency will be provided by Hangar, subject to availability:

 

–Software/hardware and interaction lab

–Interface and network lab

–Construction lab

–Audiovisual editing booth

– Workbench

– Accommodation in La Caseta, a house for Hangar program participants and residents. The two-storey house contains two double bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen on each floor. The residency is for up to four artists at a time.

– Spaces: Ricson room, multi use room, workshop room

– Relevant networks: Hac Te, XarxaProd, Xarxa de Fàbriques de Creació de Barcelona [Barcelona Art Factories Network].
