Sweet Home is a research residency programme in private homes in Madrid organized by www.hablarenarte.com/en.

Sweet Home is a two-week research residency programme taking place in domestic spaces in Madrid that delivers new ways of doing and relating to each other by sharing our day-to-day life. We seek to create effective and affective ties between artists, curators, researchers and other cultural agents, transforming our homes into places of encounter that enable new practices of shared intimacy.

Sweet Home seeks to generate:
1. Exchange and mobility, through a two-week residency.
2. Professional networks and international collaborations, through a personalized agenda for each of the guests and visits to representative art spaces of Madrid.
3. Transfer of knowledge and reflection, through public presentations of the guests' body of work.

Sweet Home is a program organized by hablarenarte in the framework of Curator's Network.

For the 2018 edition of Sweet Home we are searching for 6 artists, creators, curators, researchers or other cultural agents working with visual and performing arts for a research residency in Madrid from May 30th to June 13th, 2018.

The residents will stay in the guest rooms of the six Madrid based cultural agents who were selected in a previous phase. The hosts will provide accommodation for the guests, and will introduce them to their closest artistic context.

The topic of the present edition of Sweet Home is non-productivity.

The lack of moments in our daily life where we can be non-productive is an almost inevitable discussion in the cultural sector, where professional and private life constantly overlap. For Sweet Home this topic is more than relevant, as these fruitful, and at the same time, challenging private-professional interconnections are an inherent part of the project's foundations. In this Sweet Home edition we would like to give the residents space to reflect on the significance and relevance of non-productivity and to, ideally, deepen an already existing line of research.
