Madrid Abierto is an international program that activates artistic events in public areas of Madrid since 2004. In its sixth edition 2009-2010, through the activation of an educational program, it intends to improve the development, promotion and understanding of its art program.
The goals are:
To bring people closer to public art and encourage them to enjoy and interpret it, using their critical abilities to understand the city and promoting the feeling that it belongs to them.
To observe and perceive the changes that artistic interventions produce in public space and to be sensitive to its evoking, visual, aesthetic and functional properties.
PHASE 1. Presentation and initiation of the artistic-didactic project.
In this phase Madrid Abierto opens and the educational project begins. Participants will find their locations and learn about the pieces’ characteristics. This phase will take place in the collective space involved with the project. Participants are invited to attend on days 4 and 5th of February in Casa Encendida in artist’s presentations of their projects.
PHASE 2. Contact the artistic project on site.
The participants will visit the pieces, carrying out the appropriate perceptive activities, to understand them in their real context. It is also the moment to collect information on the piece’s interaction with the public, thanks to audiovisual and photographic records, interviews and questionnaires, etc.
PHASE 3. Thought-Action-Evaluation
After returning to the workplace, participants will share the obtained information. They will analyze and reflect on this data, and will establish conclusions, as works of synthesis. In this phase is intended for participants to consolidate their acquired knowledge, in two ways: one focused on the promotion of the artist’s piece and its interaction with citizenship; and the other, for the participants to create their own pieces. This phase can take place in the involved group’s site or in a public setting.
Aspects to be defined by the participating institutions and cultural association in the meeting that will be held on the 19th of January 2010 at 6 pm (unknown location):
The place where workshops will be held; preferably sites ceded by institutions which are willing to participate.
Duration of workshops:
Preferably they should begin at the end of January. At least it would be convenient to carry out a first session before the presentation of the projects, which will probably take place on the 4th and 5th in Casa Encendida. During the month of February they will visit the installations and interact with the projects. These will be combined with workshops where the visits will be analyzed. Finally, in March, it would be advisable to do another evaluation session in order to analyze the whole educational project.
The workshops will be made by Maria Molina Lopez, coordinator of the educational project, while the visits will need monitors to help out.
Ideal number of participants is about 15 to 20 people, to work in 5 groups of 3 or 4 people each.
Necessary material for the activity:
A hall with capacity for at least 15 people
Projector
Board
Photo and video cameras
