Abstract

This article intends to show the tensions that emerged between the artist’s way to work and the framework conditions of cultural/artistic institutions with a public nature. This relationship between artist and institution, although it could be con-sidered from interdependence parameters, is often developed from the confron-tation and discrepancy. Without necessarily leaving aside the aesthetic or political, the objective is to detect the most usual points of conflicts that arise in this contact zone. The forms of articulation, the relationships established, the time frame (time of production versus institutional temporality), the mediation, the contact zone... these are some of the key concept that will come out from a specific case study: projects carried out in the context of Donostia/San Sebastián 2016, European Cap- ital of Culture. This research emerge from a type of knowledge located inside and outside the European Capital of Culture project itself that responds to the profes- sional trajectory of the author: cultural researcher and cultural manager of theaforementioned project.
