Research Process: Institutional temperature (2025)

For the past few years Index has contucted research with desire to rethink the institutional framework. Index implements this research process to define ways of working today from an institutional point of view. In 2024, Index organized a meeting with representatives from several institutions at ARCO art fair in Madrid, sharing thoughts and ways of doing at Kadist Paris, Hangar (Barcelona), Fluent (Santander), Belleza y Felicidad (Buenos Aires), EACC (Castelló). In 2025 we continue establishing dialogues with other institutions and practitioners to explore new definitions for the institutional framework.

Part of this research process is developed in practice during the exhibition CALL IT MUSEUM.

During ARCO Art Fair in Madrid 2025, Index director Marti Manen leads a meeting with artistic agents responsible for advanced institutional proposals at the fair. We would like to thank ARCO for facilitating aspects of this research process.
