A virtual platform for statistical research and reflections on the macro conditions of contemporary visual arts in Costa Rica. We produce and disseminate a series of agile and quick reports as well as longer, annual ones, as instruments that can allow the local artistic community to analyse what we are doing based on accessible and public information, which seeks to adopt multiple forms (graphs, figures, maps, transcripts and narratives) and include a plurality of voices. We mainly circulate the research via instagram.
This year focus has been on systems of participation, visibility and validation within the national context.

A network of autonomous artist-run spaces in Costa Rica, Honduras and Switzer- land that collaborate amongst each other, as well as run their own curatorial programme.
Réunion, Costa Rica is a space for artists, run by artists. We think of it as a laboratory experimenting with what a community of professionals can look like when recognized in terms of the affective and caring relationships with one another. These are professionals neither validated because of our rela- tionship to the market, nor to the academy, nor to the government. The space serves as a refuge where to reimagine systems of legitimation stemming from communal values, and where to collectively develop strategies for sustaining artistic practices out of affective economies.
