Half the pressure, twice the speed

Collective: 5th Ed. Residency Can Serrat, El Bruc, Spain 08/2023

The fifth instalment of the Edition Residencies took place at Can Serrat, a Catalan farmhouse located in El Bruc (Montserrat), 45km outside of Barcelona. One of the oldest international residency programmes in Catalonia, it has welcomed artistic and literary projects since 1989.

At Can Serrat, we created a new reading space through a process of reorganising and cataloguing to make the library more accessible for research. To reflect the evolving nature of Can Serrat's artist residency programme, we created a modular group of objects made from plaster and board. The objects serve as tools to navigate the library. Through the mix of sculptural and purposeful objects we integrated the possibility of evolving displays.

The Edition Residencies is an interdisciplinary arts collective established in 2017 and consisting of Caitlin Akers, Lena Wurz, Nora Schmel and Klara Vith.
