EN RESIDENCIA
En Residencia es un proyecto especialmente concebido y comisariado por Marc Rees en colaboración con su socio creativo y dramaturgo, Benedict Anderson. Es una serie de acciones performativas y espaciales creada por una veintena de artistas plásticos y del movimiento, procedentes de Gales y Asturias, bajo la dirección artística de Rees.
Esta instalación ´site-specific´ es el resultado de un laboratorio de trabajo in situ, donde el grupo de artistas ha tomado como punto de partida los entornos interiores y exteriores de una zona medio abandonada de la Laboral. Las intervenciones de cada artista se inspiran en este entorno único y los objetos particulares del lugar: materiales del archivo, artefactos abandonados y la extraordinaria historia del edificio.

This site-specific installation is the result of a two-week, on-site laboratory where the participating group of international artists have responded to the interior and exterior spaces of a semi derelict area of Laboral. The artistic interventions draw their main stimulus from the unique environments and associated memorabilia; the archive material; the abandoned artefacts and the extraordinary history of the location. The mid-south wing of the Laboral complex remains unrenovated and many of the spaces (classrooms, stairwells, offices,
antechambers and landings, etc.) are strewn with discarded objects and hundreds of pieces of furniture found in various configurations, both ordered and scattered. These spaces have been allocated to the artists by Rees and Anderson to re-imagine and re-animate in order to create En Residencia.
Fiumfoto occupy an art room peppered with discarded maquettes and models where memory and technology merge to create a video and audio installation that plays with the representation and nostalgia of former educational systems and practises.
