- Days Remaining 12
Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of disciplines, to explore creating
and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry
guidelines, based on the principles of the Fantasism manifesto.
The centre is located in Úbeda, in the Jaén region of Andalusia, southern Spain,
where the sun is out 300 days of the year, in the middle of the Sea of Olives, with no
neighbours for miles, just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to
a buzzing community of artisan craftspeople and many cultural events.
The residency call out
For our new call-out, we are looking for artists, craftspeople, thinkers and creatives
from all different fields to explore the theme:
FAIL PROUDLY
We are purposefully keeping the theme as broad as possible, and encourage you to
think as tangentially as possible. We are not looking for the same ol’ works, but
instead want to encourage all our visiting creatives to challenge themselves into
doing new things and exploring new forms.
We are particularly interested in people who wish to work with found objects and
repurpose them, as our junk yard is full of materials, but we are open to all forms of
creations: visual, performative, audible, theoretical, scholarly, written, etc.
