PROPOSAL
"We propose using our time at Joya to develop a sustainable model for artistic collaboration. As students on a new MA programme specifically designed to challenge existing working practices and look at the social context of cultural production, Joya will provide us with an intensive opportunity to test out some of these ideas and create work through collaboration, dialogue and exchange. In limiting the materials we bring with us, as well as being removed geographically and conceptually from our normal studio environment, our aim is to make work relying solely on each other and the natural resources we encounter at Cortijada Los Gazquez. We hope to arrive at a model of self-sufficient production, both in social and environmental terms. Whilst our process will be one of experimentation and reflection (largely developed on site) in order to ensure the project remains focused and structured we will work within the overarching theme of sensory experience. We are interested in exploring the 5 senses (sight, sound, taste, smell, touch) in relation to the environment around Cortijada Los Gazquez, and will break down our residency, so that each day is focused on a different sense."
