Situation 5. Other sides, margins and realities in secession

Collective learning and research programme

(creating) Situations

THE SECOND REGISTRATION PERIOD IS NOW OPEN
Second registration period: until 11 February 2024

(crear) Situacions: art i pensament participatius

The fifth edition of (creating) Situations will be related to the exhibition cycle that will take place at the Santa Mònica during the first half of 2024, L'altre costat, which this time explores issues such as parallel realities, transitions between realities and creating boundaries.

In this framework, the people taking part will share and develop tools to collectively outline and analyse different situations in this environment of situated and shared learning, generated around the Santa Mònica exhibition cycle, as well as others linked to other cultural proposals in the city.

Programme

We will have dialogues with the curatorial team and the artists involved in the exhibition cycle, workshops with research groups from the centre and guests, with the aim of enriching the shared learning processes.

Sessions with curators and artists participating in the exhibition cycle: these sessions will address the background of the curatorial processes of creation that take place both in the conception and the deployment of the exhibition cycle.
Research and experimentation sessions with the artists in residence and other guests: the Santa Mònica hosts 21 resident artists who, organised into 7 guilds, deploy over a period of 11 months research and experimentation devices in artistic mediation that share with the exhibition some of their starting questions. In these sessions we will delve for a moment into their research, which always has a practical side, to get some examples and a general overview of the possibilities that a centre like the Santa Mònica currently offers. There will also be some sessions with guests linked to artistic practices, such as:
- Arno Böhler and Susanne Valerie Granzer (philosophers and specialists in the philosophy of the performative scene).
- Arnau Sala (visual artist through music).
- And more speakers to be confirmed.

Meeting spaces through reading: collective spaces in which texts are not containers of content, but devices for weaving obliquities.
Cultural agenda: in some sessions, the programme will be in dialogue with proposals and projects from other spaces in Barcelona.

Programme by: P.L.A.S., a provisional alliance for the generation of discomfort and other derivations of thinking by doing, with the aim of activating a temporary community of research and learning.

Who is it aimed at?

The programme is designed for people who are interested in artistic practices and the processes involved in them: curatorship, mediation, exhibition cycles, production, materiality, interiors... The aim is to activate situated communities of research and learning.

Places are limited. There are no age requirements, no previous qualifications, and no curriculum. Therefore, interest and commitment to this proposal and to the community involved will be valued.

(creating)Situations: participatory art and thinking

Comenzar a poblar, aquí y ahora, los horizontes geográficos donde se torne posible la elaboración autónoma de un tejido de realidad en secesión, bastante más rico que ese otro acartonado que administra la nueva cibernética social metropolitana.

Consejo nocturno

Every four months, the Santa Mònica arts centre develops an exhibition cycle through collective creation processes. These processes are driven by a close and radical curatorial practice, understood as a form of accompaniment and care. Through this exercise of institutional de-hierarchisation, the new Santa Mònica embraces methodologies that encourage diverse situations of horizontal participation.

Along the same lines, (creating) Situations offers a context for collective learning and research that analyses exhibition cycles and their creative processes from the inside and, in turn, generates new situations for approaching them. A tool designed to understand and become immersed in these methodologies from within.

With this programme, the Santa Mònica opens its doors to people interested in artistic practices and in the configuration of these exhibition processes, based on joint and situated co-creation with curators, artists and other agents involved. The aim is to interpret and reactivate different situations within the exhibition device.

The title (creating) Situations is inspired by approaches that displace the model that establishes a game between "author, work and public", inherited from modernity and still very present in our shared imaginary. Thus, the character of collective involvement not only permeates each of the Santa Mònica's exhibition cycles, but also aims to be the vehicle of this programme, with the aim of activating artistic thought and research from a common construction committed to our present reality. This is why the programme also aims to go beyond the Santa Mònica by establishing connections with other cultural proposals in the city of Barcelona.
