LA QUEDADA. STUDIO VISIT. ART MADRID'25

¡Art Madrid invites you to #LaQuedada!

To celebrate our twenty years of contemporary art, we have organized a parallel program of activities under the theme "City Territory," which focuses on public space, the city, and territory as central elements of artistic practices. This program will include events throughout February and during Madrid Art Week at the Galería de Cristal of the Cibeles Palace.

Together with PROYECTOR's Moving Image platform, we have organized the second edition of #LaQuedada on March 1st and 2nd, a circuit of artist studio tours.

Have you ever wondered what an artist’s workspace looks like? Or where an artist creates their work, for example, when preparing for an art fair? The event is open to both professionals and the general public. During the sessions, we will explore five spaces dedicated to artistic creation and architectural project development, all connected by the concept of utopia, a concept that unites utopian architectures, spaces for care, and decentralized actions that can be built between centers and peripheries.

ABOUT TODO POR LA PRAXIS

Art and critical architecture collective founded in 2008, whose main focus is the social function of art and direct action. Its aim is to activate artistic practice as a contribution to transformation, creating spaces and devices for critical reflection. The imaginaries they construct address diverse dissidence and political resistance through collaborative practices, based on the amplification of narratives that intervene in public space. It is currently made up of the artist and architect Diego Peris López, and the visual artist and researcher Jo Muñoz.

The various works that make up their practice seek to construct other possible imaginaries, analysing current contexts from the challenge of creating, approaching and embracing radical discourses, antagonistic to hegemonic cultural impositions. They seek to install knowledge and spaces for critical thinking, activating new transcultural subjectivities as a decolonisation of dominant thought. They carry out processes of research, production and action in both geographical and symbolic territories, using agitprop, counter-advertising and the visibilisation or guerrilla of communication, in critical devices that question aesthetic and political narratives.

Their works have been exhibited in more than 35 exhibitions curated by various curators in Spain and internationally. In addition, they have been published in several magazines and interviews, received awards and have been in artistic residencies. During 2024 they are awarded the VEGAP grant, and have been selected for the City of Palma Antoni Gelabert visual arts prize.
