Programa d’intercanvis HISK – Hangar – Sala d’Art Jove
 
The Sala d’Art Jove and Hangar have started an exchange programme with HISK Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Ghent. In 2016, two artists from Hangar and two artists from Sala d’Art Jove will travel to Ghent for one month with the goal of joining the Hisk training programme. In parallel, four artists from Hisk will stay in Barcelona for one month during the course of year to participate in the activities and spaces of Hangar and Sala d’Art Jove.
 
 Regarding the artists from Hangar, the first artist to travel to HISK is Mario Santamaría, who will live in Ghent for the entire month of March 2016.

Mario Santamaría’s artistic practice studies the phenomenon of the contemporary observer, spotlighting two processes that shape it, namely representational practices and viewing and mediation devices. Using different tactics such as appropriation, remakes and assembly, his works inquire into different spheres like conflict, memory, virtuality and surveillance.
