homesession offers since 2007 an atypical artist-in-residence program, which consists in short-term residencies and a strong involvement within the local community.
homesession investigates the relation between artworks and their context: Invited-One-Day is a specific program developed in collaboration with spanish artists.
We aim at giving a support to the diffusion of emergent artists' works, through the webpage, the newsletter and social on-line & off-line networks.
You can apply to the residency or to the website artist selection. All the materials required are listed in these sections.
The project is conceived as an open dialogue between a private place and the artistic creation, thanks to different programmes and initiatives.
"homesession" is a permanent investigation on the relation between intimacy and the artistic process, from the artistic creation to the exhibition and the public diffusion:
- it focuses on this relation through diffusion, public events and exhibitions
- it gives a special emphasis on the role of the context in the artistic production and encourages site-specific creation
Our goals: we want to encourage creation in visual arts, video, performance and involve artists as well as other partners in a very exciting exchange, with a real diversity of cultural and artistic approaches.
We propose an artist residency in Barcelona, on a short period (till one month) for emerging artists. The use of a private flat for such a program stands for the tension between this specific place and the public space. The residency is located in the center of Barcelona and takes place in a loft shared with its owners, offering the artist a unique opportunity to be accompanied during its stay and to nurture its creation through a challenging experience. We want to offer to the artists the possibility to be deeply immersed in the local life.
For each residency, an event is organized for a public presentation (the format may be an artist talk, an installation, a projection etc.).

homesession's name refers to artistic events produced in a private place. It refers to an approach that would take into consideration the specific characteristics of the place.
Invited-One-Day is a creation program that aims at supporting site-specific works: it consists in an experience led by an artist, who's litterally "invited one day" in a private flat. It leaves room for experimentation and a dialogue with the place.

This web site is conceived as a platform, dedicated above all to artists, but also to art professionals and amateurs.
We have selected artists from different countries and cultures. Our aim is to use our website to share and promote these artists, through and though the distance.
I'd like to be presented on the web site
