Nowadays artists transition from one residency to another. Their experiences vary, since some residencies serve as a bridge towards a change in the career of the artist, others provide unique resources, and others connect the artists with new contexts. <br /> <br /> Artistic residencies are a key space: they put the creative process in the center of attention and allow artist to immerse themselves on it. This round table approaches the need of art residencies questioning how the artist's experiences align with the objectives of the hosting space's program.

Elisa Pardo Puch

Artist

Elisa Pardo Puch

Elisa Pardo Puch’s work takes as its starting point autobiographical events, emotions and everyday situations from which she extracts elements and forms to set a plastic process in motion.

The artist works with techniques that allow her to proceed in an intuitive, repetitive and meticulous way – such as drawing or sewing – and uses the tension that arises between industrial elements and artisanal procedures. Through different formats, he explores the potential of disposable and poor materials to think and create from their own connotations, inverting or disabling.

Pardo Puch seeks and extends these moments of repetition, of insistence, which often occur with the use of geometry. In these physical processes, in the trance of his own elaboration, of contact with the material, Pardo Puch finds a self-absorbed distance where ideas emerge, conceiving the process itself as a form of channelling.

Graduate in Fine Arts by UCM (2014). Graduated in Master in Contemporary Art History and Visual Culture by UAM and UCM (2017). Higher Studies in Graphic Design at Escuela de Arte 10, Madrid (2010). Erasmus at Duperré Art School, Paris (2009).
