Stable Jury
The Stable jury is formed by two external professionals together with Hangar’s Direction, and each configuration is maintained for a period of two years.The Stable jury is in charge of resolving those Hangar calls that involve long and medium-length presences at the center. and is also responsible for some of the grants and mobility opportunities.
• Long-term artistic residencies (24 months)
• Collective residencies (24 months);
• An artistic research grant (8 months).
• Production grants
• Mobility opportunity calls
The idea behind the Stable jury is to involve people who can develop a lasting relationship with Hangar, gaining a deep understanding of the centre and its operations. The goal is to ensure that decision-making is embedded and guided by a long-term perspective, rather than being sporadic or anecdotal. We envisage the role of the Stable jury as being akin to an alchemical process, whereby each decision contributes to a dynamic whole, generating new forms and possibilities with each addition.
The duration of the Stable jury is also a way of sustaining over time a conversation with instituting capacity on general issues of institutional functioning that are called and operate in the processes of conception and resolution of calls. The complicities, complementarities and backgrounds of those who are invited and make up the jury nourish and expand our reflection on the institutional physiognomy and porosity.
The election of the Stable jury is carried out from a list drawn up by the Hangar team, which is referred by the Board.
Between June 2025 and May 2027, we are pleased to have Soledad Gutiérrez and Agustín Ortiz Herrera as members of the Stable Jury.
Agustín Ortiz Herrera’s artistic practice unfolds at the intersection of audiovisual media, performance, and installation, as a strategy of interference within hegemonic regimes of representation. Through a queer sensibility, his work interrogates normative forms of memory construction, destabilizing the patriarchal-colonial devices embedded in visual culture and its persuasive power. His work has been presented in various cultural and exhibition contexts in Spain, Sweden, Austria, Malta, and the Netherlands, ranging from historical archives to international documentary film festivals such as IDFA in Amsterdam, and institutions like the Centre d’Art Santa Mònica and MACBA in Barcelona.
Soledad Gutiérrez is a cultural worker who develops her practice as a curator and researcher. She has worked at institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), and the Whitechapel Gallery in London. She was the artistic director of CentroCentro in Madrid and, more recently, chief curator at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, TBA21, where, in addition to developing several long-term commissions, she launched the digital production platform st_age. Over the years, her work has focused on supporting and accompanying artists in processes of conceptualization and production.
Her research focuses on contemporary artistic practice as an immaterial process of collective learning activated within the cultural institution.
Between May 2022 and December 2024, the Stable Jury was composed of Magui Dávila and Sabel Gavaldon.
