Teacher training

Teacher training

We are outdoors, in the fresh air. Multiple layers of reality are occurring at the same time. The sun is setting on the horizon, the light is constantly transforming. What separates what we are seeing and what we are imagining?

By stopping to see what we seldom perceive, in this workshop we will engage in several attention exercises with the goal of inquiring into sight and the kinematic. We will work with things that are not a material support but are supported by what is around us to shape other realities. The goal is to seek new ways of producing images by connecting the visual with the sonorous and action in a space.

This workshop is targeted at teachers, educators and artists interested in education. It is offering a week of work to forge bonds by collaborating and collectively reflecting with the Museum’s educators, the attending teachers and the guest artist.

Sofia Montenegro’s work lies somewhere between sound, image, text and performance. She studied Fine Arts and Cultural Studies in Utrecht and Madrid and earned an MA in Art Praxis at the Dutch Art Institute. Her works often take the form of installations, sound tours, listening sessions, collective encounters or performance.

She has recently showed her works in exhibitions, actions and performances at La Papelería, the Ana Mas Projects gallery, the Blueproject Foundation, the Centre d’Arts Santa Monica, Can Felipa Arts Visuals, Bulegoa, MNCARS, LCE, El Chico Madrid and Kunstraum Bethanien Berlin, among others, and will soon do so at Barcelona’s La Capella. 

She is also the winner of Barcelona Producció 2023-24 and Generación 2022 and has done residencies at Futurama Alentejo, BilbaoArte and CRA Matadero Madrid. She is currently a resident at Hangar in Barcelona.

Missing a Class is envisioned as an initial situated approach in context in which the CA2M Museum and a group of students from the Visual Arts and Artistic Expression in Primary School class at the Teacher Training and Education Faculty at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid will collaborate over the course of an academic year to explore other ways of learning based on contemporary art.

This year, we’ve proposed holding classes in the museum, replacing the classroom with the exhibition rooms and asking ourselves from the start: What might a museum have to do with the university?

To do so, we want to start with the concept from gamer culture: ‘crafting’. In videogames, this term is often used to refer to the act of fashioning objects or materials based on others that already exist. Throughout our lives, we have been taught that knowledge is organised into watertight compartments insulated from one another, and institutions are viewed similarly. How can a museum and an education faculty work together to speculate on other configurations as alternatives to the dynamics of art education?

Based on this experience between the two institutions, we seek to inquire into the possibilities of cultural spaces in scholarly research while also weaving webs of collaboration to bring contemporary creation to the field of teacher training.

We start this year with a series of encounters in which students of education at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) will be visiting the museum. Together with their teachers from the Department of Art, Plastic and Visual Education, and based on the experience of the group visits, we want to create a space in which the university can work with the museum. What can the museum’s education departments contribute to the training of teachers, and vice versa; what place do art and contemporary artistic practice have in their learning experience?

Project in collaboration with the Department of Artistic, Plastic and Visual Education of the UAM Faculty of Education.

To take flight and hover about the school is the practice with which we begin this school year.

In order to take a breather and to get a bird’s-eye view of the year that is just beginning we have invited the artist Olga Diego to lead a performance workshop with one single objective: to defy gravity.

In this workshop we will imagine and build our own airborne device. Collectively we will undertake a prior study, make calculations, sketches, scale models, preliminary tests and then the launch. The forms and systems of this aerostat will be experimental, defined and created by participants under Olga Diego’s watchful eye.

Here, there is no such thing as failure because the workshop provides room for all possible ideas: flying, pre-flying, pro-flying, pro-failure, pre-fall, anti-flight, pre-disaster, and so on.

Each school year we organize a workshop for teachers with a performance artist, consisting of an intensive week-long project during which we create bonds of cooperation between the school and the museum as we explore issues concerning educational processes and the performativity of teaching.

In previous years we have had workshops with Los Torreznos, Tania Bruguera, Pere Faura, Itziar Okariz, Norberto Llopis, Nilo Gallego, Dora García, Aimar Pérez Galí, Luz Broto, Aitana Cordero, Jiři Kovanda, Paz Rojo and Mónica Valenciano.

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.

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.

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.
