Deadline - 31st January 2014

This is an open call for participating in the second 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).

As the first edition, Spring Sessions #2 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.

Description of the eligible projects
- General eligible criteria
Ongoing artistic, theoretical or applied research projects that include
collaborative processes with other fields such as cultural studies,
scientific research or technological development.
The part of the project to be developed in Hangar has to include the
participation of a professional from another field, selected by the
artist.
- Specific elegible criteria for Sessions de Primavera #2
This year's edition seeks to support projects that address the issue of
transferability in the ACT (Art, Science and Technology) field. We
understand by transferability:
. - The applicability of a result, knowledge or methodology in other
contexts.
. - Extension / transfer of the meaning of some concepts to other disciplines
. - The process by which a sector assimilates an aspect, property, an
attribute of another process and it is partially or completely
transformed.
Some terms related to transferability are: socialisation, transmission,
data, empathy, identification, protocol, community, hypertext or glossary,
among others.
This call is addressed to those projects resulted from collaborations
between artists and other profiles that carry out theoretical and / or
practice research while contribute to the transfer of knowledge among
heterogeneous areas.
