THIRD SPACE: Plural
Third space: plural is the project that set the tone for our program in 2021. Social distancing and, the absence of audiences, a consequence of the pandemic, led us from Plural Nodo Cultural to propose this project to reach homes of the inhabitants of the area in which we are located: Barrios Unidos (Bogotá D.C., Colombia), and thus transmit the knowledge that is produced in art spaces.
In this edition, the third space was transformed into an articulation of different views from the curatorial practices for the exploration of “plural”. For this reason, five research lines were established, in each of them a curator participated together with several artists for the creation of a notebook that is given free, so the public can collect and enjoy in their homes.
*Publications are in spanish only.

As part of the project Third Space: Plural, William Contreras Alfonso, one of the invited curators, developed an exhibition at Plural to talk about the transformation of a city like Bogotá during the pandemic. The works in this group show are representation of situations triggered during confinement such as mental illnesses, the actions of control institutions, the interests of the population in generating protests due to the consequences of sanitary measures, and the great positioning of the internet as a communication tool and strategy.
