La Clinica functions as an artistic residency, exhibition space, and curatorial clinic. We work together with international partners, artists, duos, and collectives to advise on potential funding opportunities, and collaborate on projects that could only be realized through internationalization schemes. The international context brings special relevance in a city with the political struggle that Oaxaca bears; environmentalisms, feminisms, and territoriality are recurrent themes of our exhibition making.
Previous international collaborations have been marked by support of Fonderie Darling in Canada, The Creative Industries Fund (Stimuleringsfonds), and the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) in the Netherlands, as well as the municipality of Basel and Pro Helvetia, in Switzerland. Students from the International Arts Minor offered by HKU visit La Clinica on a semester basis for a specialized project.
About our residency
In a practical sense the residency program works by invitation; we invite an artist or an artist invites us into their project. Compatibility is based on the quality of the artist’s creative production and their affinity in initiating self-driven installations that generate productive tensions or fluidities between their practice and La Clinica’s framework for thinking, inhabiting, and healing. Our residencies culminate into exhibitions, public programming, and all else that germinates from our encounters. Residents are provided with the guidance for navigating research, and means for production that are specific to their praxis. During the curatorial process of collaborating with artists and collectives we also rely on consultancy with local experts in the art field of Oaxaca whose research or making crosses paths of interest.
