Installed in the old Freixo thermoelectric plant, CRL – Central Elétrica is a center of residences and artistic creation that seeks to reframe a part of this deactivated industrial pole, pulsating and generating other forms of energy. CRL – Central Elétrica marks a new beginning of an artistic project with a long path of activity. Merging into a single acronym CiRcoLando and CentRaL, CRL pursues two core lines of action – own creations x residences and programming – in an articulated manner, believing that the integrated development of both areas generates unique ways of thinking and doing both. At CRL – Central Elétrica we want to contribute to making artistic practice and research in more shared labors and the public artistic partners increasingly close and participatory. Processes are not a detail of artistic objects. We have to take care of them, think about them, feed them, debate them, reinvent them.
