AADK Spain invites all artists and researchers in its Artist Residency Program. The topics are body, territory and/or spatiality, in which space, spatiality, and proximity are theoretically important in the examination of agent-structure models of opportunity, notions concerning diffusion, the loss-of-strength gradient, and the effects of distance and space.
