Catalysts. Art, education, territory
Curated by Ramon Parramon

Amasté, Jordi Canudas, Santiago Cirugeda, Democracia, Josep-Maria Martín, Tanit Plana, Sinapsis, Laia Solé

CATALYSTS. Art, education, territory is an exhibition showcasing art projects and participatory processes which are grounded in a direct relationship with a particular local context. Each of this set of proposals comprises three essential components, which combine with and relate to one another with varying degrees of interaction: they are artistic practices, they foment educational activities, and they take place in a specific spatial and temporal territory or context, while embodying a critical reflection on politics and society.

Think Art, Act Science
Curated by Irène Hediguer

Hina Strüver and Mätti Wüthrich, Ping Qiu, Sylvia Hostettler, Christian Gonzenbach, Pe Lang, Pablo Ventura, Claudia Tolusso, Alexandre Joly and Wenfeng Liao

Think Art, Act Science is an exhibition of projects by artists who have engaged in dialogue with scientists from a variety of disciplines. All of the artists taking part in the Swiss artists-in-labs programme have done a nine-month residency in a scientific research institute or a university science department.

Think Art, Act Science explores the multiple dynamics of the collaborations that took place in the labs. The works on show reveal the communicative potential of the artists’ responses to scientific research — preconceived perceptions of science and art were the first to be dynamited. The artistic researches have been articulated around three main areas of investigation: ecology and the environment, spatial awareness and the emotions, and the new technologies.

The exhibition project in Barcelona adds in a local component, with educational activities, discussion and research using methodologies that foster multidisciplinary creativity. The exhibition at Arts Santa Mònica marks the start of a tour that will take the project to other cities in Europe, America and Asia.
