ILLAPSE and Galería Sur join forces to establish a collaborative programme connecting artistic research, production and exhibition. This partnership aims to support Latin American artists by offering a space for experimentation, creative development and dialogue within Barcelona's contemporary art scene.

Through a series of open calls, selected artists will undertake a residency at ILLAPSE, providing dedicated time and space to develop a project. Each residency will culminate in an exhibition or presentation at Galería Sur, creating a direct connection between the creative process and its public presentation.

About Galería Sur

Based in Barcelona, Galería Sur is a contemporary art gallery dedicated exclusively to Latin American artists. The gallery focuses on promoting their work internationally through exhibitions, curatorial projects and initiatives that encourage artistic exchange. It serves as a meeting point for artists, curators and collectors, fostering new connections between Latin American artistic practices and the European contemporary art scene.

Programme Launch November 2026

The collaboration begins in November 2026 with Brazilian artist Liliana Sanches, represented by Galería Sur, who will undertake a one-month residency at ILLAPSE.
Working across painting, drawing, collage and installation, Sanches explores themes of memory, time and imagination, creating visual worlds that move between reality and dreams.

Open Call  2027

The first open call for Latin American artists will launch in 2027, marking the next phase of this ongoing collaboration between ILLAPSE and Galería Sur.
Further details and application guidelines will be announced soon.
