SITAC Artistic Practices

In recent years, there has been an increase in the interest for collective or collaborative production, transposing the more traditional focus of individual work or the art object, in favor of a collaborative activity with the community and other social stratum. Thus, the artist becomes an articulator of his collaborators, in a realm outside of the traditional studio formula, with new exchanges and working conditions that put a halt on the nature and the system of art -its production, its market, its institutions- as well as its long-range programs for research and production of knowledge. The outcome aims towards the examination of the contemporary artist's status above and beyond the latest political, social and institutional demands.
