El Basilisco was invited to participate in MDE07 - Encuentro Internacional Medellín 2007 | Prácticas artísticas contemporáneas, as part of the "Hospitality Spaces" section. Continuing in its habitual function, El Basilisco in turn invited artist Marco Bainella as a sattelite member, to explore registering his stay in Medellin in some way. This culminated in a show reflecting this process in Taller 7.
The proposal of extending the encounter to other places began to grow; as such El Basilisco invited Colombian artist Victor Muñoz to spend a month-long period of residency in Avellaneda, Bs. As., accompanied by Marco Bainella. They will jointly create a document that will summarize the different instances of this exchange. Victor Muñoz will return to Medellín in late June for a show at Taller 7 that will reflect the work developed in Avellaneda.
