Create a body here with me. A river sets the rhythm. The clouds will be our clock.

ON DURATION brings together curated groups of intergenerational and international artists who each work with duration in radically different ways. Founded and curated by Dr. Raegan Truax ON DURATION has taken the form of symposiums, workshops, exhibitions, and the annual summer residencies organized by AADK Spain.
During the residency period, the focus is on your creative and artistic growth. Participating artists are invited to work site responsively in nature, surrounded by rocky mountains, the Segura River, and citrus orchards. Everyone has access to Centro Negra (several of AADK’s studio spaces housed in the belly of a mountain) where you can intensify explorations of time, space, body and environment. The unique location and combined knowledge of Dr. Truax and the AADK team also invites deepening your praxis with group workshops relative to: body materiality and sustainability/endurance, aesthetics and politics, territory and temporality, interspecies ecologies, deep time, speculative time, ecosomatics, and site-responsive artistic research.
