Studio visits Rosa Lleó: 25 and 26 February

As an extension of the monthly studio visit program, Stroom initiated the Digital Dialogues program during the first lockdown in 2020, in which artists from The Hague engage in an online conversation with an interesting artist, writer or curator. Sign up now for a new round of Digital Dialogues, this time with Rosa Lleó: an independent curator based in Barcelona, who recently curated the exhibition YWY, Visions at 1646.

On Thursday 25 February and Friday 26 February, 2021, curator Rosa Lleó will hold one-on-one online conversations with artists in The Hague about their art practices via Zoom.

Rosa describes her areas of interest as follows:

"Some projects I have curated, written about or researched in collaboration recently try to divert our attention from a unifying gaze and standard knowledge in many different ways. I've been trying not to be too conclusive, but willing to offer spaces of imagination and critical thinking away of hyper neoliberal production and closer to our natural rhythms of life. Some works that I am looking at right now search a poetic or unusual way to address urgent and current issues such as ecology, omitted histories, or stories about music, desire, love and care."

Sign up
If you are interested in an online conversation with Rosa Lleó about your work and artistic practice, please let us know until Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021. There is limited availability, so don't wait too long to sign up. The responses received will be presented to the curator, together with any suggestions from Stroom, after which she will make a choice. You will only be notified if you have been selected by the curator for an online interview.
