Programme
Ni arte ni educación (Neither Art Nor Education) is an exhibition and programme of activities that aims to explore the points of contact of two discursive fields: art and education, and how each of them is articulated in contemporary society.
Complying with the commitment made by the curators in the Ni arte ni educación Manifesto, the exhibition will not be open during the normal Matadero Madrid timetable, but there will be an activation programme for this specific show, which you can access here. This programme will be updated every two weeks.
The contents of Ni arte ni educación are structured along three lines:
- Activism and pedagogy, which links thought and deliberation about education with the desire to drive socially transformative actions.
- Intersections of otherness where it is possible to view the folds of diversity through its intersections, approaching the distinct identities as something complex that grows and mutates through the intermingling of different collectives.
- Critical citizenship, focused on the empowerment of communities, their participation in the public sphere and their opening up to new possibilities. These lines have been defined within the context of the work being developed by the Matadero Madrid Disruptive Education Thought Group (GED), created in 2013 and coordinated by the Pedagogías Invisibles group in order to generate a space in which to reflect upon the importance of education in the construction of society. The time has now come to honour this requirement and commitment and to present its progress and results publicly to the community, and to explore spaces and formats that permit their participation.
From this the Ni arte ni educación exhibition has emerged and the twenty-one projects into which it is organised: Historia de una plaza by Maite Angulo; Inclasificable by Paloma Calle; El museo es una escuela by Luis Camnitzer; Afro in progress by Ana Cebrián; Murciélago by Christian Fdez Mirón; Ya había explicado esto antes, pero la historia cambia cada vez que la explico de nuevo by Jordi Ferreiro; Agitar la incertidumbre: no exponemos, acampamos by Marta G. Cano; Task Party by Oliver Herring; Wiki kiosko by Laagencia; Un poco de luz by Marta de Gonzalo and Publio Pérez Prieto; La Brecha by Núbol; Next level: Jugando con la realidad by Xandra Villar Amigo; AIREA by Amanda Robledo and Fundación Tuya; Paisajes by Laura Bañuelos; Teen Tero by Cross Border Project; Pares Sin Pares by Joana Macedo; La tercera oreja by Andrea De Pascual, Daniel Durán and Javier Durán; PDF by María Acaso; Humanae ¿Color carne? by Angélica Dass; Antes de que se vuelva pedagogía by Mônica Hoff; and Narrativa.Levitar by Madstock. Presented in a variety of formats, including installation art, workshops, a party, video, audio, documentation and research, all these projects have been devised as pedagogical devices and not as works of art. This is in response to the intention to reassess the privileges afforded both artistic and curatorial productions and the knowledge they generate to position them on the same level as educational productions. Ni arte ni educación is a process articulated around the micro-experiences provided by the devices to create one collective macro-experience. This is made possible through the activation mechanisms provided in the programme whose purpose is to bring the exhibition space to life by inducing its transformation. This process will be reflected and expanded on the web platform.
In addition, from 19 October until 14 December, an invitation for public handover will be opened, which will include the proposals created and managed by collectives, schools, neighbourhood associations, among others, with the creation of spaces and time windows in which the public and the community will be involved and made visible as another agent in the equation of the production of knowledge and culture.
Both art and education are no longer obvious concepts, having been separated from their institutional environments (the academy, the museum, the school, etc.) that fenced them in, to now be dispersed amongst all the interstices of reality. It is a moment of crisis in which to acknowledge the opportunities it throws up to explore this new complexity generated by the meeting of the two spheres. The desire of Ni arte ni educación is that the confluence of the two concepts will commit them both to their negativity and to their current lack of evidence. This is the potential that the intermediate and liminal nature of this art+education cross-disciplinary space offers us.
