Past Residents Espada y Monleón
Espada y Monleón
María Espada and Carlos Monleón are two artists and gourmets who have been working together on edible projects for three years. They started out from humble beginnings, organising events for friends and family to find new ways to socialise and enjoy food. Since then they have explored many new formats and contexts and taken part in projects and public programmes at various places. For them Espada y Monleón is a place where they seek refuge from the progressive professionalisation of the arts, a place where they can work differently.
The residency was realised in context of El Ranchito Finland, co-produced by Matadero Madrid, AECID, Ibero-American Institute of Finland, Embassy of Finland, Madrid, HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme and Frame Visual Art Finland.
