PROJECT

The 2017 Mestizo Arts Festival’s international program invites Argentinian artists Agustín Jais & Denise Lara Margules for a two-week residency at wpZimmer. The duo is working on their new project Water My Plant.

Water My Plant deals with the relation between architecture, institutional dynamics and artistic creation in both Buenos Aires and Belgium, and the possibilities of collaboration between these two distant territories. The process involves creating and exchanging miniature models of cultural buildings on a 1-to-1 basis, to start a participatory process with the cultural managers and artists working in them, with the aim to build sustainable and creative long-distant relationships.

Open Studio: Friday, October 28th, at 4PM
Presentation of mixed media works produced as a result of the field research in Belgium
