Research is an essential part of artistic practice. The Sala d’Art Jove has an annual call to promote research projects in the visual arts, which also seeks to support methodological and procedural experimentation.
 
While research is traditionally seen as a step towards the development of a creation project, the Art Jove call framework is another opportunity to produce and publicise experimental knowledge by breaking down the barriers between theory and practice as well as by activating projects designed to build relationships and exchanges between diverse fields of knowledge and cultural sectors.
 
The research part of the Art Jove call is currently run in partnership with the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, MACBA.
