6 EURO BUDGET - Artistic Practices and Precariousness

Ángela Cuadra, “Todo lo solido se desvanece en el aire”, 2010

Off Limits Madrid and the Spanish Embassy in Sweden presents the special exhibition “6 EURO BUDGET – Artistic Practices and Precariousness”.

This Spanish/Swedish collaboration is a creative response to the increasingly precarious position of many artists. It is based on the idea that it is important to show that artists have the ability to generate projects and ideas, even under less favorable conditions but that it is also important to draw attention to the need to change these circumstances, and develop more flexible working structures that support creativity and observe more closely the needs and realities of contemporary artists.

Cabello/Carceller, the exhibition curators are an artists’ team formed by Helena Cabello and Ana Carceller. They have worked together since 1993 and have expanded their artistic practice through collaborative writing, critical theory, teaching and curatorship.
