Kiosko Galería
Kiosko Galería, created in 2006 by Rachel Schwartz, is nowadays the most important art gallery of Bolivia.
In addition to participating in international art fairs, Kiosko organizes numerous exhibitions for both established and emergent artists, within the two gallery spaces they own in the city center of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Kiosko Galería also has an ongoing residency program for both Bolivian and international artists.
«Kiosko Galería was created […] not so much as a gallery, but as a space for the production of contemporary art events. […] There is an exchange of dialogue, knowledge, and culture within the residence. That’s a part of the project’s process» explains Rachel Schwartz.
The residency program is open to visual artists as well as curators, writers, and investigators who wish to explore the rich cultural scene of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Selected artists in residence will see half of their travel expenses covered, will be offered a room as well as a workshop, and will receive a stipend for their stay to cover for the material. The residency generally ends with an exhibition, an open studio, or a talk to present the artist’s process and work.
«We are interested in bringing many people who are also able to deal with the environment, who are capable of having the sensitivity to see what is happening in the country, and in some way, {…}, link it with their works» indicates Rodrigo Rada, curator of Kiosko Galería.
