Educational Community

During this 21-hour theoretical course, key aspects of contemporary art will be openly discussed in order to understand and interpret contemporary art: from the death of the author and the crisis of the subject to the end of meta-narratives and the emergence of art as critical thinking.

While we raise the main existing issues in current art, we will analyze the possibility of using images as useful resources to be used in the classroom (and not only in Art History classes): the image is built and proposed by the artist as an artifact or a machine which creates discourses.

Through 7 sessions of 3 hours, professionals of art from different creative fields (museums, artistic practices, scholars) will deal with different subjects.

Sessions will be divided into two parts: a theoretical discussion based on reading materials followed by practical cases and exercises of images analysis.

Attendees will receive a 2-credit certificate issued by Consejería de Educación de la Comunidad de Madrid.

By David Cortés, Marta de Gonzalo and Pablo Martínez.

The course will take place at IES Prado Santo Domingo in Alcorcón.

Over the course of the year we will hold tours and talks for the exhibitions held at the CA2M. After a tour of the exhibition, CA2M educators will discuss different methodologies for working on the exhibition with pupils. Teachers will also be given an information pack with details on the exhibition so that they can familiarise themselves with art.

We encourage art and science teachers to participate in this experimental tour focused on providing with educational tools. We will talk about how the dialogue between these two fields can be helpful to introduce a new teaching concept. All participants will be given a complimentary copy of the catalogue of the exhibition and learning materials.

Pere Faura (Barcelona, 1980) is a dancer and choreographer. He has studied music, theatre, ballet and audiovisual communication. Between 2002 and 2006, he studied choreography at the School for New Dance and Development in Amsterdam. In 2009 he started the Amsterdam Master of Choreography at Amsterdam School for the Arts (AHK). He has participated in several projects as a dancer with choreographers like Jérôme Bel (The show must go on) and Ivana Muller (While we were holding it together) and has worked in many projects as a choreographer.

After some warm-up exercises to stir physical conscience and creative imaginary, we will study the elements implied in a striptease that are also present in eductive action, such as the lenguage of suggestion, the power of persuasion or the construction of illusion in order to perform poetic stripteases as an artistic and political practice to lay bare our own habits and cover them with new tools and landscapes.

With this 20-hour workshop the CA2M keeps on investigating education and educative uses of the body and the language of performance. Indeed, one of the lines of work of the Centre is to focuse on the body as a place to build knowledge. Guided by Pere Faura, we will reflect on education and art as political practices intending to trigger new impulses and searches for new forms of imagination not yet under control.

Aimed at teachers and people with special interest in education

Along the academic year, CA2M will offer visits and colloquiums about the exhibitions that CA2M houses. After touring the exhibition, we will have a dialogue in the galleries where CA2M educators will propose different methodological strategies to work with the pupils the exhibitions. CA2M will give to teachers a dossier with information and documentation concerning the exhibition to familiarize with contemporary art, its terms and meanings.

PROGRAMME

Tour to the exhibition of Colección V 

Aimed at people engaged at teaching in formal and  non-formal settings (associations, schools, town hall, social projects), fine art students, pedagogy and social education.

This workshop becomes an space for discovery and exploration of resources based on experiences, dynamics and criteria obtained by contemporary artistic practices which are susceptible of been used within the classroom. Throughout the six session’s workshop, mostly practical, we will discover, analyze and develop creative strategies which will help you to apply them within your teaching methods.

Lecturers: Cine Sin Autor, Victoria Gil- Delgado, Carlos Granados, Rafael Lamata, Pablo Martinez, Sandra Santana and Jaime Vallaure.

Tour to the exhibition of the CA2M funds  followed by a talk on the way of including contemporary art in the classroom.

Itziar Okariz´s (Donostia- San Sebastián, 1965)  actions launch diverse representation and communication means in an attempt to transgress through the application of her same conventions. A mimetic process that makes use of the descontextualization of signifiers, of the change of the logic order, of the role inversion between the one who observes and the one who is observed and of the repetition.

It seems that the current situation tries to tell, especially to young generations, that it is impossible to imagine an alternative reality. Far from being that way, many long-career and new collectives struggle to change that situation of imposed immobility. Hence, we want to hit the streets to better breathe; to look for new resources that the collectives and the public space may provide. Working from practice and in a team manner to share alternative tools adapted to our time, that it will help us shape the educational work with young people.

Workshop lead by: La Colonia, Victoria Gil-Delgado, Carlos Granados, Rafa Lamata, Pablo Martínez, Javier Rodrigo and Taller de Casquería.

CA2M is well aware of the importance of building an educational community around the Museum  in order to develop innovative educational practices related to art education and contemporary thinking, and one of the cornerstones of our educational project is therefore professional development for teachers.

Since January 2009, we have therefore been offering a variety of training programmes for teachers, such as tours and talks related to our exhibitions and, also, introductory course on current art. These initiatives will continue this year and will be joined by new ones held on our premises, such as the introductory course on the educational uses of contemporary art organised by the Leganes Territorial Centre of Innovation and Training.

Meanwhile, in June, a 20-hour workshop will be held in June for Secondary School art teachers and fine art students interested in art education.
