Open call studio visit Àngels Miralda Tena or Mateo Chacón Pino on 7 and 8 July 2022
Informatie in Nederlands: klik hierOn Thursday 7 and Friday 8 July 2022 Àngels Miralda Tena and Mateo Chacón Pino, guest curators of a group exhibition in 2023 at the recently opened RADIUS CCA, will each visit the studios of The Hague artists. About their communal areas of interest, they say the following:
"Convergences in our curatorial practices consist of imagining the body in flux as metaphor for society. By using strategies of commoning and integrating biological processes in real time we develop projects in close collaboration with participating artists, activists, and researchers in workshop formats. We promote alternative pedagogies and various forms of knowledge as a core value. We are currently working on the concept of a new exhibition to take place in the Netherlands in 2023 for which we are investigating social relationships from a bacterial perspective. We are pursuing interests in the history of science, decolonial practices, artistic research, political epistemologies, self-anthropologies, etc. Aside from traditional artistic media we also look for performative and time-based practices, as well as new proposals for how education and science can work alongside exhibition formats."

SHORT BIOGRAPHIES
Àngels Miralda Tena describes her curatorial practice as a secret politics of materiality with the belief that materials contain embedded meanings, relating to global chains of extraction, trade, and industry. Her recent exhibitions have drawn on art historical research into Arte Povera, neo-materialisms, and the roots of Installation Art to create parallels between artists' materials and planetary phenomena. She has realised residencies and new productions in volcanic craters and sulphuric pits with artists Regina de Miguel and Paul Rosero Contreras. Based on observations of how biotechnology interacts with our world as well as our own bodies in changing and sometimes violent manners, she has imagined speculative sculptural futures with artists Julia Varela and Andrej Škufca. Her projects with Débora Delmar have addressed matter in its consumer form as a market commodity with economic and cultural repercussions. She has organized exhibitions at the Tallinn Art Hall, MGLC - International Centre for Graphic Arts (Ljubljana), De Appel (Amsterdam), Galerija Miroslav Kraljevic (Zagreb), the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chile (Santiago), Museu de Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira - Azores), and the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art (Riga). Miralda regularly publishes her writing for Critics' Picks at Artforum and is the current Mondriaan curator at airWG (Amsterdam).

About RADIUS CCA
RADIUS is a center for contemporary art and ecology. We are located in the city of Delft and stationed in the pump house and water basin belonging to the Delft water tower, a historical monument and architectural landmark. With five hundred square meters of subterranean exhibition space, our program is dedicated to the intersection of art and science, with special emphasis on climate, ecology and the living environment. The name RADIUS is based on the circular geometry of our exhibition space. In a more poetic sense, the radius of each circle in our program serves to jointly develop a more grounded understanding of our shared living environment.
