Lugar a Dudas

Colombia

lugar a dudas is a non-profit independent space. Its purpose is to promote and diffuse artistic contemporary creation through an articulate process of investigation, production and open confrontation.

It is a laboratory to foment knowledge of contemporary art, facilitate development of creative process, and provoke community to interact through artistic practices.

As its name suggests “place for doubts”, is a space for thinking and reflection of the artistic practices and the complexities we live in our context. More than a space for exhibitions and promotion of a finished product, lugar a dudas is particularly interested in the research on the issues and debates linked to the social sphere, highlighting view points and contradictions through exhibitions, conferences, workshops and residencies. Established in 2004 by Oscar Muñoz with the support of Sally Misrahi, in 2006 the space began to organise residencies that bring Colombian and international artists to spend time in Cali and produce work on site.

In the period 2012-2014, lugar a dudas will focus its attention on the following programme areas:

  • Sala de Estar
    This programme area comprehends four elements:

    1. expansion and professionalization of the documentation center;
    2. the implementation of a workshop programme with workshops, conferences and debates;
    3. the construction of an archive in which information material on artists of Cali is collected;
    4. 'Fotocopioteca': a system that contains texts on contemporary art, selected and introduced by artists, curators and art scientists. The texts will be bundled and distributed amongst art institutions throughout Latin America.
  • International Residency Programme
    The objective of this programme is not only to promote creative exchange between artists but also the exchange of knowledge and experiences concerning organisational development. lugar a dudas aims to create a residential network at national level for artists from independent art initiatives in the country. The objetive is the mutual reinforcement of the participants and their organisations.
  • Exhibition Programme
    National and international artists are invited to show their work in the exhibition space of lugar a dudas. Special attention is given to emerging Colombian artists.
