Definition of the type of management
they are responsible for, its mission and objectives.
MOTP, is a non-profit, self-managed space based on the exhibition
and reflection upon contemporary art. Looking for:
-New trends of Argentine contemporary
production.
-Fostering experimentation
-Artwork that is balanced between personality and risk.
The seed of this project was our own and
other artists’ need for a place to hold projects, shows and
meetings.
A place which the city did not have and we thought of necessary
to meet some requirements and objectives that had been previously
set. It is an architecturally suitable place, well lit, neutral
and with the capacity of hosting naturally different kinds of proposals.
To make artists and their works known and
give the same possibility to non-renowned artists within the circle
to have works matching the present and place requirements. Therefore,
basing this relationship on the parameters of respect and consideration
for our peers.
To develop an interest towards the new art language and an approach
to the makers aloof from the fashionable collectors’ snobbism
and closer to the amateur viewer.
Description of the internal organization of its initiative, defining
the human resources they have and the job each of the members
do in the management.
We are a totally horizontal organization, everything connected with
space is dealt by the three people in charge, the tasks to undertake
are assigned according to ideals, time availability and so on.
Outside-people’s participation is also taken into account through
the presentation of their proposals, projects and initiatives that
are previously assessed, accepted and taken as a starting point
to work jointly.
The lack of funds does not allow us to empower tasks that sometimes
exceed our capacity to carry them out due to the lack of time availability.
Set a maximum and minimum objective projection and the expectations
of the initiative and assess the external view upon it.
Maximum projection. We expect to be a national reference
as regards as:
-having our own self-financed space
-showing artists and works within the new trends of contemporary
production.
-the generation of new means to spread contemporary language.
Minimum projection
- to finish the basic infrastructure projects for an easy development
of the space (heating, depot extension and the media library)
The outside view on the initiative
-All the visitors to the space agree that, at national level, it
is one of the best exhibition showrooms.
-Wide support and acknowledgment from artists, curators, critics
and so on, that know our proposal, way of working and how we curate
shows.
-To make our project known through national media.
