In a world marked by acceleration, productivity, and the constant demand for visibility, receiving time has become an increasingly rare gesture. Over the past ten years, AGITLab has been built around this possibility: creating a space where artists can slow down, investigate, experiment, and deepen the relationship between artistic practice, territory, and community.
More than a place of welcome, AGITLab has become a living infrastructure for encounter. A space where process can precede outcome, where research intersects with coexistence, and where time itself becomes a working material. Between 2016 and 2026, it has accompanied significant transformations in the contemporary art landscape, establishing itself on a human scale, rooted in its local context while remaining open to international dialogue and expanded forms of circulation.
This exhibition celebrates a decade of residencies through ten artists who, at different moments, inhabited this context. Their practices are distinct, yet they share a common experience: the possibility of working through permanence, attentiveness, and a relationship with a specific place.
The works brought together here do not seek to construct a definitive narrative. They are fragments of encounters, investigations, and experiences that reveal different ways of inhabiting time and territory. They testify to the importance of creating conditions for listening, discovery, and for that which has not yet taken a defined form.
To celebrate ten years of residencies is to recognize the value of time as an artistic, political, and collective resource. It is to affirm the importance of spaces that allow us to imagine other ways of producing knowledge, building relationships, and sustaining artistic practice.
The artists featured in this exhibition remind us that the most radical gesture remains this: to give—and to receive—time.
