La micro is a shared flat in the city of Barcelona that works as an artist-centred exhibition space. It showcases the periodical exhibition of underrepresented artists working in the visual and performing arts. With this project, an inhabited apartment transforms into a living art gallery. The corridors, the living room, and even the bathroom of our flat periodically welcome 24-hour long exhibitions, converting la micro into a domestic counterpart of dominant institutionalized spaces where art is usually exhibited. La micro challenges participants to re-think their definition of art exhibition and encourages artists to relate to everyday living spaces. This project wants to give room to valuable artistic practice while raising the fundamental question of what happens when art comes back home.
