About EN — Pols

About

Pols is a non-profit cultural space that enables artistic experimentation through conditions that foster open-ended research, testing, and rehearsal. The project is grounded in a curatorial perspective that seeks to create support structures allowing practitioners to operate beyond the pressures of institutional frameworks and market logics.

Located in the Nou Moles neighbourhood of Valencia, Pols develops a methodology of accompaniment rooted in attentive listening and a close engagement with its surrounding context, establishing exchanges through artistic production and encounters with the audience.

Through the specific reconfiguration of the exhibition space, Pols experiments with the relationships between form, abstraction, and language. These lines of inquiry take shape through exhibitions, study groups, conversations, and film programmes; exercises and operations that reflect on the position of artistic creation and situated knowledge as ethical codes within contemporary practice.
