Artistic interventions in hospital settings

Project title

Intervenciones artísticas en entornos hospitalarios

Description of initiative

The objective of this project is to investigate the possibilities and effects of intervening with temporary artistic proposals adapted in hospital and care contexts. The intervention has been developed on the hospital adapting this space as a work study and as a place to show the process of creating the finished pieces, inviting patients and workers to participate in them. The intervention is adapted to the space in which the artist develops, to what will happen there and to the people who inhabit it. It is not a question of taking works designed in abstraction and simply superimposing them on existing hospital spaces, but of cooperating with patients and hospital professionals until creating an installation that is part of their experience of that moment, transforming it.
