Description
This subject proposes an introduction to structures, organizations, communities, and practices that exist at the edges of institutional art contexts, adopting forms close to activism, mediation, and self-management, or acting as vectors of informal education. The complex and rich relationship between education and art is also studied.
The objective is to provide the orientation and practical knowledge necessary in professional artistic practice, but also to introduce a framework of reflection that allows understanding and critically analyzing the economic, labor, administrative, and legal conditions under which artists operate. In addition to theoretical exhibitions, we get to know the contexts and agents first-hand through the programming of visits to different centers and spaces. In the context of the subject, activities such as case studies, interviews, readings, expositions and debates on issues, reviews, and other written works are carried out, as well as practical work with other formats and media to explore different aspects of the subject.
