Espacio de Todo is an industrial warehouse managed by the Todo por la Praxis (TXP) collective in the Vallecas neighbourhood of Madrid. From 2015 to 2019, its facilities hosted the programming of the Instituto Do It Yourself (IDYS), and since 2021, the space has been refurbished and renamed ESPACIO DE TODO. This place offers a programme of artistic creation, dissemination, research projects and production of work in the form of residencies, combining the work of curators, artists and cultural agents, and a series of activities that have been carried out continuously to date.
The content it seeks to promote takes as its reference the southern geolocation of Madrid, where the space is located, in order to build a relationship that conceptually permeates artistic and research practices.
Its general line of work proposes the notion of the south as a symbolic condition to be questioned and reinterpreted through various types of contemporary art projects. We constantly ask ourselves what it means to be southern, who the southerners are, and why there are binary determinations associated with the term that has become globally established.
The actions generated through its programming aim to produce an aesthetic and critical reflection that explores a type of knowledge through experimental artistic practice, which fosters dialogue and results between artistic agents with diverse discourses and places of enunciation.
Collective processes that create common work between artists, researchers, and national and international curators, dismantling the hierarchical relationship that exists between agents in the field of contemporary art.
The projects developed in the space allow for a territorial and symbolic power that nourishes the investigative and creative practice of both the guests and the public attending its activities. Furthermore, each biannual curatorial cycle is based on a specific research proposal that generates knowledge and artistic production, in a feedback loop of content towards the space, the community that has been generated around it, and the local and international art field.
Food, as part of the sharing of each process carried out within the programme, is a cross-cutting element that allows us to think together, bringing our cultural and identity practices into conversation to enhance their collective critical capacity and envisage a future where sharing and good living are central elements in creating cracks in the atomised and individualistic model we live in. That is why we have established that all processes and results, upon their completion and public opening, are accompanied by cuisine prepared and shared by the guests of each programme to reflect on the projects they carry out. These sessions are open to the public and free of charge, and in most cases, they conclude each of the projects, residencies, laboratories, workshops, and discussions that take place in the space. Some of the recipes that are cooked are posted on this website as a culinary memory.
