Bellas Artes Projects was founded in 2013 by Patron Jam Acuzar and it is an international production based residency program housed at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac Bataan. Artists in residence are able to collaborate with nearly 1000 local filipino craftsmen and explore the connections between Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino culture through a collection of Spanish colonial houses on the property.
They hold residencies throughout the year with leading international artists such as Pawel Althamer, Lucy Raven, Maria Taniguchi, Pae White, and many others. We wish to invite our first spanish artists in Residence in 2017 and could think of no better choice than Cristina Lucas and Fernando Sánchez Castillo - both of whom have worked with sculpture parks before (there is a sculpture park in development at Bellas Artes Projects) and who have a keen interest in monuments and the galleon trade.
For 2017 they have invited as artist resident Cristina Lucas and Fernando Sánchez Castillo. Wiith AC/E's support they will visit the Philippines and research the colonial trade routes between Spain and the Philippines via the collection of houses at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. Fernando has worked extensively with monuments, and Bataan lacks a meaningful monument to the painful Bataan death march from World War II.
