EL CONTRATO Reading Group & Calendar of Events for EL CONTRATO

EL CONTRATO Reading Group 

The first stage of the EL CONTRATO reading group took place from April 2013 to February 2014 at AlhóndigaBilbao. During the three months of the EL CONTRATO exhibition, the group will be reopened, meeting for a total of six sessions in the AlhóndigaBilbao Exhibition Hall. We will follow the same methodology as in the first phase: texts will be read, then discussed, and finally members of the group will chronicle the sessions in reports to be read out at the following meeting. Each session will be conducted by members of the 2013 group. Texts for this second round were proposed by Ricardo Basbaum, Kajsa Dahlberg, Luca Frei, Teresa Lanceta, Karl Larsson and Wendelien van Oldenborgh around works in the exhibition. Some of the sessions will also be attended by the respective artists.
