Despacio
Happened in August 2018
San José
La próxima
Things are bound to change. Once again, Despacio transforms into an artist-run space. During the month of August and September, the artists Marcela Araya, Kenneth Coronado, Priscila Gómez, Flavia Sánchez, Yuli Yamagata, and Ivanna Yujimets run Despacio under the name La próxima.
ThoughtsThoughts
The general idea for La próxima is to break individuality and create a communal space for the exchange of information and communication. The empathy, closeness and even coffee breaks encourage exchange of contemporary theories and artistic practices.
InformationInformation
The program of the artist-run space will be announced continuously on Despacio’s FB page.
La próxima is the third edition of the residency program, which turns Despacio into an artist-run space. It follows Karaoke todos los días and La última.
