Casa Aberta [Open House] fosters experimental projects especially in the field of music, visual arts and dance, and operates at a different pace from other spaces, as it approaches the production of each artist in an extended time, which results in a collective construction of site-specifics for the House. With this methodology, we represent artists, accompanying their trajectories and offer the space as a platform for experimentation. The space is open to practices that do not fit into large institutions nor are promoted by the market. ︎acasaaberta
