HANGAR
SOFT CONTROL

Open call for interdisciplinary projects
http://hangar.org/en/news/soft-control-convocatori

This is an open call for participating in the first edition of Spring
Sessions at Hangar art production and research center based in Barcelona
(Spain). The Spring Sessions are intensive and interdisciplinary meetings
between artists and other professionals for developing a specific part of
a larger research project.

The Spring Sessions provide the opportunity to an artist to invite a
professional from another discipline to work together in the development
of part of a larger research project within the framework of a one month
residency in Hangar. One participant will be based in Barcelona and the
other somewhere else. The person based elsewhere will be able to live in
Hangar’s guest house during the development of the residency (one month).

The first edition of Spring Sessions takes place in the framework of the
Hangar’s project Grid Spinoza and the European project Soft Control. Grid
Spinoza explores the processes, methodologies and dynamics of artistic and
scientific research, paying attention to spaces of confluence and ways of
transferring knowledge from one field to the other. The project is based
on an online platform that contains an open archive of articles and
audiovisual interviews with artist and scientists.

The project Soft Control is a platform where artists, scientists and other
cultural operators open their laboratories and their research projects to
a specialised and non-specialised audience. At the same time the project
is a framework for artist and scientist constructively sharing knowledge
and cultural models of critical thinking, activism and experimentation.
