RESEARCH PROJECT

WHAT IS THIRD is a project in which the research process is opened to the public through the sharing, over three months, of references, initiated conversations, fortuitous meetings, desired workshops, exotic viewings and parallel processes.

WHAT IS THIRD points to an enigma. The enigma of how from the encounter of two, a third thing, a third dimension, something that was not there before, appears, arises, in an unintended way. And when it arises, it transforms both: 1 and 2 ... thus producing a displacement, a process of de-identification. Emotion, friction, criticism, love, the limits of spoken language ...

This enigma is not only the field of artistic research but also the catalyst that alters the conditions and circumstances under which the process takes place. And for that the agents involved in an artistic process are multiplied by 2, 3, 6, 15, 180 ...

In this way:
"Reading a book" becomes "an open reading group"
“Revisiting your notebooks of previous works” becomes “the presentation of your last work”

"Having a conversation with a friend about each individual's artistic process" becomes "a parallel residence"
"Reading an article" becomes "a workshop to get excited together"
“Watch a movie on the computer” becomes “a cinema club in a cinema"

With the idea of contaminating each other, generating unexpected third parties, enriching relationships, generating shared knowledge, emphasizing criticism, looking at things from the difference, producing our own in-puts and proposing another speed of events.
