Museo etnológico, C/ Estatuto / 12194 Vall d’Alba, Castellón, Spain
Artists-in-residence Katrin Hanusch, Georgina Sleap and Lucy Tomlins and curator-in-residence Àngels Miralda undertook an active, research residency this August from PSC’s base in Castellòn, Spain. Taking-over the Ethnological Museum of Vall d’Alba from 28 August – 3 September, the artist-residents brought pre-existing artworks, components and materials to collaborate with their new context, Àngels and each other to reflexively re-make their sculptures in a sensitive and site-responsive way, producing an exhibition. In-line with PSC’s commitment to making the making visible, the exhibition’s development will be carried out in public, presenting an opportunity to see how an exhibition evolves and is made.
The residents investigated the following shared reflective / reflexive research themes:
The PARC residency exhibition is part of the Festival of Vall d’Alba and is supported by the Town Hall of Vall d’Alba and the Town Hall of Atzeneta del Maestrat.
