Program Description:
To inhabit is to create a bond between a body and the space that body occupies. The relationship can be physical, virtual or imaginary as in “thoughts that live in my mind”. Inhabiting can be the result of a space that opens itself to a given content. Here we can infer what makes a space habitable or uninhabitable; stable or unstable; permanent or transitory as well as what makes the subject adaptable. From the subject-space relationship derives time and limitation, when and where a space becomes a place. In our lives we reside and travel to many locations, common or private. We are constantly negotiating the land that sustains us, a land that can welcome us or push us away.
Habitar se refiere a la relación entre un cuerpo y el espacio que este ocupa. El nexo es físico, virtual o imaginario, así como en “pensamientos que habitan mi mente”. Habitar se refiere también a un espacio que da cabida a un contenido. De aquí se desprende lo que hace un espacio habitable o inhóspito; estable e inestable; permanente o transitorio y lo que hace a un sujeto adecuarse o no. De la relación espacio-sujeto se derivan efectos temporales y espaciales que determinan su calidad de lugar. En nuestra vida residimos y transitamos en distintos lugares, comunes o privados, nos mantenemos en constante negociación con el territorio que nos sostiene que, a su vez, nos da la bienvenida o nos empuja de vuelta.
