Teacher training

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.

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.

Doblar a lo largo de la línea. Guy Ben Ner
DIC 16. 2009 – FEB 28.  2010

This workshop continues with CA2M teaching investigation line  centered in new ways of knowledge buildings through the body and performance. This summer teacher´s  training workshop with Los Torreznos, a duo of vital, cultural and conceptual exploration, who works within the contemporary art through performance and videocreation.

This workshop intends to explore the expressive territory of the art action, the performance, basically bounded to the body and to its presence. This exploration will be developed according to Los Torreznos criteria: insistence, energy, repetition, presence, humor, simplicity of resources, constrictions and challenge.

These elements will be applied to investigate and train through practice the expressive resources of the participants. Thus, it involves an experience to put back into play and develop the using possibilities of the presence itself as a reflection and communication tool with the world.

For the workshop it is not required any previous artistic or performance tranning

Los Torreznos

Los Torreznos, Jaime Vallaure (Asturias 1965) & Rafael Lamata (Valencia 1959), is a duo of conceptual exploration covering the social and politic issues, and the most deep-rooted tradition.

In the pass, Los Torreznos´ members  have individually formed part of collectives of independent art creation (Zona de Acción Temporal, Circo interior Bruto, A UA CRAG, La Constructora, La Revista Caminada). They have also organized different programmes and events (Art Action Festivals, Series of Lectures, publications, international projects, etc.)

Los Torreznos was created in 2000. Among their creative activities, they have developed several art action works, video-installations and sound art works. They were also part of  the Spanish Pavillion in the 2007 Venetia Biennial, moreover, they have worked in different international festivals (Shangai, Glasgow, Phoenix, Noriega, Russia, Germany, Quebec, etc.) an in national ones (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia, Bilbao, Cordoba, etc.)

Rafael Lamata and Jaime Vallaure have developed several works of joint intervention, videos, installations, actions ((ABC de la performance, Cuentos para la Cárcel de Carabanchel, La lógica del continente, 8 pasos para la destrucción del sistema capitalista, etc.)

Tania Bruguera is a multidisciplinary artist who works in the fields of performance, contextual, installation and video art. She has done extensive research on art and its political implications for everyday life. In her works, the audience is urged to play the role of citizens. In addition to her artistic practice, Bruguera is known for her philosophical reflections on education and knowledge building and how they are related to art. She is the founder of Arte de Conducta, the first programme for performance and political art studies.

By offering this 20-hour workshop, the CA2M continues to pursue a line of work associated with education and the potential educational applications of working with the body and the language of performance. Under the guidance of Tania Bruguera, we will reflect on education and art as political practices expressed through and from the body and the performative act.
