‘Permanent Expedition’ was an artist-in-residence project initiated and curated by nomadenetappe - Kunst & Theorie. Ten artists, working in the fields of sound art, radio, installation, video and conceptual art, where invited to produce site-specific works during a period of eight days in Vigo, Spain. The project took place at MARCO - Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Vigo and was developed in two stages. The artists involved transformed this place into a production room, which finally was opened to the public under the format of a collective exhibition.
The name of the project refers to its experimental nature, similar to a scientific research mission. As the term suggests, ‘Permanent Expedition’ follows the idea of exploring constantly, thinking daily life and the excursions to Vigo’s surroundings as a laboratory and a setup for experimentation.
