The paradise is the zone of economic localities of the highest floor of the great Italian theaters above the last amphitheater, also denominated like chicken coop. Paradise is also an old chicken coop annexed to our house where DAFO incorporates a new program halfway between the artists’ residence and our home that will take place twice a year: June and October. This residence aims to incorporate a space for work, exchange and meetings mixed with family life, the presentation of projects, debate and exchange between other agents and artists of the local and national context.

DAFO is a contemporary art space which particularly appreciates Emergent Art scene, based in the city of Lleida which is optimally situated in a decentralized region. This strategic position allows its influence to reach art circles in Lleida, Barcelona and Madrid as well as the rest of Spain and Europe.

DAFO is a solid attempt to amalgamate a specific stage for Emergent Art. ***
A fundamental structure permits it to work with Catalan, Spanish and International artist, at the same time offering the city a program of expositions and significant activities within the current panorama of contemporary art.

DAFO is set up as an artistic space from which it can develop a network for interchange with similar spaces throughout Europe.

Declaration of Intent_

DAFO takes its name from typical company feasibility reports, used to determine the feasibility of a project (SWOT in English). An analogy when used initially provides a certain sense of amusement (It’s difficult to measure the feasibility of a work of art). DAFO set up as an alternative to the circuit of commercial galleries that defines and sustains the art market.

DAFO is a producer of art projects which has its own space at its disposition, a hybrid space setting itself between a small scale Art centre and a Gallery, its alternative, concentrating on the role of the artist and helping provide exposure of their work first hand.

DAFO plan a program of temporary exhibitions accompanied by complementary activities and a small editorial line. In this way DAFO adopts an important role in the representation of certain artists, concentrating on providing them with visibility outside the typical presentation context.
