Ruido Blanco Art Residency 2023

Ruido Blanco is a sound signal that contains all frequencies. When we are in the presence of these types of signals, the cerebral cortex is stimulated, cognitive capacity increases and study and concentration skills improve, since it actively produces calm spaces, opening space for creativity. It is within this framework that we thought of and created this artist program, located in the city of Puerto Iguazú, where endless sources of frequencies are generated. We summon artists, writers, photographers, anthropologists, sociologists, curators, to explore this territory of cultural diversity and extraordinary biodiversity, to live with other artists for a month in a patch of jungle facing the Iguazú River, a house that coexists with coatis and toucans, butterflies and spiders, spring and vivid sounds. The selected artists will carry out their project during the month of September, accompanied by project workshops, cultural outings and visits to local artists’ studios and activities open to the community, and it ends with an open studio to share their process with the community. ​ By thinking about nature from noise and death, from the ephemeral, the integration and creation of ties with the community and the stimulation of creative and immersive thinking, Ruido Blanco is proposed as a space for reflection on art, from work, but also from leisure and friendship. We propose a space that proposes to dislocate, destroy and kill ideas collectively, to create new ones. We are the masters of our culture. We understand aesthetic making as a practice of the sensible product of human activity in the order of feeling, emotion and bonds. Duration of residency The artists are expected to stay in the Residency during the month of September. This year the Residency will start the 3rd of september and will end on the 29th of the same month. Accommodation The artists will stay in a big house surrounded by nature.
