´ace is an independent, non-profit artist-run centre based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, dedicated to the production, exhibition, and critical discussion of contemporary art. With a history of supporting experimental practices across disciplines, ´ace has become a vital hub for artists seeking a rigorous and supportive environment outside commercial pressures. The micro-Residency program reflects the institution's commitment to process over product, offering artists the time and space to develop new work or advance ongoing research within a concentrated timeframe. The micro-Residency is designed for visual artists whose practice engages with animation as a medium or methodology. Whether through traditional techniques, digital processes, or hybrid forms, the residency supports projects that push the boundaries of the moving image. Artists are provided with access to ´ace's facilities, including studio space and technical resources, as well as the opportunity to engage with the local artistic community through informal critiques, workshops, or public presentations. The program does not prescribe a specific outcome, allowing for experimentation and risk-taking. Curatorially, ´ace seeks proposals that demonstrate a clear conceptual framework and a thoughtful approach to animation as a critical and expressive tool. The selection committee, composed of artists and curators affiliated with ´ace, values projects that are responsive to the residency's context and that contribute to broader dialogues in contemporary art. The micro-Residency is not a retreat but an immersive experience that encourages dialogue, exchange, and the advancement of artistic practice.
