The workshop on project analysis and development was coordinated by the artist Pablo Siquier (Buenos Aires) and the Belgian artist Anne-Mie van Kerkhoven (Amberes)

The fellowship-holders, Agnes Geoffray from France and Laura Belém from Brazil (invited through CEIA), took part in the event. Ten other artists from Argentina chosen through a contest joined this working team. Eight out of these ten vacancies are reserved for artists from Mar del Plata and the surrounding areas, the two vacancies left are for artists from the rest of the country.

The selection committee was made up by the artists: Magdalena Jitrik and Pablo Siquier both from Buenos Aires and Daniel Besoytaorube from Mar del Plata, they took decisions only unanimously so as to guarantee the heterogeneity of the chosen projects.

Artists selected were Daniel Basso, Andrea Cavagnaro, Teresita Olhaberry, Margarita Ciarlotti, Matías Duville, Fabián Ramos, Juan Souto, Inés Szigety, Mariano Ullua y María Inés Drangosch

The meeting was practical and theoretical. For 20 days the artists, taking part in the event, developed a project to be submitted as a reply to this call. The coordinators proposed interactive exercises to the group so as to deepen the knowledge of their peers’ creative processes and the subsequent articulation of the differences and coincidences in the emerging problems. The critic reflection of the national fellowship-holders was stimulated in the exchange with the other foreign fellowship holders through debates and in the presentation of their ideas.

We offered some assistance to the selected artists for the production of their projects, as well as, a modest grant to buy the necessary material. As regards as the invited artists of other provinces, we gave them accommodation for 20 days and a return ticket from and to their hometown.

The foreign artists participated in talks and debates open to the community.
