About Hangar
Hangar is a center committed to maintaining (generating, updating, revising and supporting) the conditions necessary to facilitate research and artistic production towards critical forms of speculation and practices capable of addressing the pressing questions and debates facing the society is currently facing.
For Hangar, art is a means of producing knowledge. From this perspective, she defends art research as a category of research in its own right, with its own way of finding and producing knowledge. Hangar seeks to support content creators at every stage of their research and artistic production processes by providing them with a multitude of tools and services (some of which are managed by Hangar and others by its resident collectives) to help them to access conceptual, contextual information, the semiotic, material and technical information they need and constitute a framework for experimentation and free transfer of knowledge.
Hangar is an artistic governance project managed by Fundació Privada AAVC and mainly financed by the Regional Government of Catalonia and Barcelona City Hall.
