Concomitentes helps groups of citizens to envisage and realize the work of art that they consider essential for their context.

A group of people gather with a shared objective: to commission an artwork in response to a situation that has emerged in their immediate context.

Citizen-Commissioners [Comitente]

A mediator accompanies the entire project and mediates between the citizen-commissioners and the artist to ensure that everybody involved is satisfied with the process.

Mediator

The artists work with the commission as a springboard from which to contribute new perspectives.

Artist

Whether lasting or ephemeral, large or small, participative or contemplative, that artwork will take the form and format best adapted to the commission.

Artwork

The underlying methodology was developed by the artist François Hers in 1990.

Protocol

He also determined that citizenry should be the owners of the work of art that they have commissioned.

"Concomitancias" is the term we apply to all those projects that follow the guidelines established by the protocol.

Over the last 25 years more than 500 artworks have been produced this way in several countries.

Now, the same will be possible in Spain.
