BASE Milano and MAYRIT, Madrid\u2019s Biennial of Design and Architecture, are pleased to announce a new curatorial residency with Sa\u00fal Baeza. The residency will support the research and development of a curatorial project to be presented as part of MAYRIT 2026, which will take place under the conceptual framework (Super)Models, developed by Mohammad Salemy and Eduarda Neves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

During his residency at BASE, Baeza will work on a proposal that responds to the themes and provocations introduced by Salemy and Neves. (Super)Models explores models as generative agents that mediate complexity, balancing theoretical fidelity with the constraints of application. These frameworks do not merely represent but perform\u2014opening new ways to think, act, and imagine the role of design in contemporary life.

Baeza\u2019s research investigates the use of identity prostheses as tools to critically reframe contemporary surveillance systems, and explores the material cultures that shape and are shaped by socio-technical infrastructures. In Milan, he will engage with cultural institutions, visit regional collections of decorative arts, and initiate dialogues with Italian artists, designers, and researchers. The residency will culminate in a public presentation of VISIONS BY PEOPLE ABOUT MATERIAL CULTURES<\/em><\/strong>, a biannual critical platform on materiality that he leads as editor-in-chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
