ON DURATION 2025

AADK SP includes  ON DURATION artistic residency in its annual programme. Conceived and founded in 2020 by Raegan Truax, PhD, founder and director of Creative Body Institute, ON DURATION supports durational artists to engage in creative research and site-responsive public praxis. Taking over Centro Negra Art Center July, August, and September 2025, the ON DURATION residency brings together an intergenerational and international group of artists who each work with duration in radically different ways.

During the residency period, the focus is on your creative and artistic growth. Participating artists are invited to work site responsively in nature, surrounded by rocky mountains, the Segura River, and citrus orchards. Everyone has access to several studio spaces housed in the belly of a mountain where you can intensify explorations of time, space, body and environment. The unique location of AADK Spain and collaboration with Dr. Truax also invites deepening your praxis with group workshops relative to: body materiality and sustainability/endurance, aesthetics and politics, territory and temporality, interspecies ecologies, deep time, speculative time, ecosomatics, and site-responsive artistic research.
