General Information
EXCHANGE Live Art is a very young and small Spanish non profit cultural asociation. We were working in this project since 2011 and we had founded as an asociation last 2014. We are three oficial members: Ana Matey (founder and president), Isabel León (founder and secretary) and Mario Álvarez (vicepresident), but we colaborate with many artists and profesionals often. We don´t have any budgetary resources avalaible in a year, because we work by small projects. Our sources of funding are mainly grants, private sponsorship and our selfless work. Mainly we work organizing and managing meetings between artists from different backgrounds, promoting exchange and reflection on communication. We work together with similar asociations in the countries where we developed these "exchanges". In this moment, we are working with the morrocan cultural asociation Al Handka. Our partners change from one project to other. Normaly we work with public and private cultural institutions and organizations.
Mission and Objectives

WHAT IS EXCHANGE LIVE ART
Introduction
EXCHANGE Live Art is a project that investigates the Communication and Interpretation of messages, taking the Action or Performance Art as the basis for this research. We believe that artistic creation is a living act, in which there are no borders or boundaries. We are interested in collective creation, by proposing meetings, residencies, workshops, talks and experiences in which we work with artists from different disciplines, backgrounds and origins. EXCHANGE Live Art proposes to share artistic processes, ideas and performance scores, as well as ways to understand art and life.
About context and curatorial work.
EXCHANGE Live Art arises as a need to create and promote art and culture in a socio-political and economic moment in which this sector is suffering more than ever. This project aims to involve and count with the participation of institutions, artists and public.
EXCHANGE Live Art proposes a curatorial project focus on performance art that involves a bet by the artists rather than concrete works. in this project, the creation process and the communication-interpretation research goes beyond the final “artistic “result.
EXCHANGE Live Art takes the "score" (or script of a performance) as the central axis of a project in which is also involve the writing, photography, video, live action, workshop and debate as part of a whole: different ways that generate reflection and thought.
EXCHANGE Live Art is a project based not only on exchanging artistic scores, but in different ways to do, create and experiment “art”, with proposals from artists of different generations, backgrounds and disciplines, opening the field of the research with different professionals from art, sociology, philosophy, etc.
About Communication-Interpretation
“The communication could be understood as a series of illusions, or fragmented reflections that occasionally intersect and generate the ilusion of communication, real reflection. However, the experience of each body communicating is always different: it is a condition of contingencies that makes at the here and now of a context is generate variations and interpretations, differentiation unpredictable and that these are inevitably different for each body communicating” DONNA HARAWAY 
What is life but a pure and continuous exchange? Ideas, thoughts, emotions or feelings that we share with the other by language and gesture. The communication, which goes hand in hand with uncommunication, is a serious and disconcerting subject, that generate disputes and misunderstandings, but also absurd situations and fun. We learn the words, their meanings, their conjugations, constructions... however this does not necessarily mean that each person understands the same thing, so "communication mean interpretation".

Main Projects / Activities

EXCHANGE LIVE ART work in two main lines:
1. Organization and management:
Includes: live actions, talks, workshops and exhibitions.
In September 2012 the project began with 13 artists chosen by an open call online, in which they exchanged performances scores that were "interpreted" in photo and video actions. You can see the online exhibition here.
       
A year later, from 20 to 29 September, we organize EXCHANGE MADRID, an international meeting with the artists participating in the open call, with exhibition of their works, live actions, performatic debate, workshop and artistic residence. More information about at here.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

EXCHANGE Live Art can contribute to networking in our country and with others because our main activity is to organize meetings between different artists and organizations interested in art, the richness of cultural diversity and communication as the main way for understanding and approchement between peoples and cultures.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We want to join ALF Network because we are interested in knowing other European and Mediterranean organizations interested in working for dialogue between cultures and respect for diversity.
We believe that art (and more specifically performance art) is a good and essential tool to help in this dialogue and this respect. 
We believe that we can offer our experience and knowledge while learning from other network members, making nice projects together.
