INSTITUE FOR POSTNATURAL STUDIES
The Institute for Postnatural Studies (IPS) is a centre for artistic experimentation from which to explore and problematise postnature as a framework for contemporary creation. It is conceived as a platform for critical thinking, a network that brings together artists and researchers concerned with the ecological crisis through experimental formats of exchange, production, and open knowledge. From a multidisciplinary approach, the IPS develops projects and research on various topics, such as contemporary ecologies, coexistence, politics, or relationships with territories and ecosystems. It has developed numerous projects, curated exhibitions, and public programs, and its academic program offers seminars, courses, and learning platforms, as well as an independent study program. Its space in Madrid hosts artistic residencies, workshops, and different encounters and conferences.
Since its foundation in 2020, it has developed projects such as the exhibition A Green Jade Lake at CentroCentro (2021, Spain), the festival on sound ecologies The Listening Affect in collaboration with Galeria Municipal do Porto (2023, Portugal) and collaborated with different institutions and platforms such as Museo JUMEX (Mexico), CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (Spain), Inland-Campo Adentro (Spain), MACBA Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (Spain), Universitá de Bologna (Italy), Medialab-Prado (Spain), HEAD - Genève (Switzerland), Galería Travesía Cuatro (Mexico), Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporánea (Spain), Caja Negra Editora (Argentina), Bosque Real (Spain), La Casa Encendida (Spain), Aarhus University (Denmark), Domaine de Boisbuchet (France) or the Spanish pavilion of the XVIII International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia (Italy), among others.
