Workshop

Is art in need of a shift from commodities to relationships? How do we engage with others in a meaningful and reciprocal way? How can our efforts become little stones that give shape to the sand of art practices today?

From local participatory art initiatives gaining new momenten over the past years, to the international scale of DOCUMENTA Fifteen, focussing on collectivity under artistic direction of ruangruppa collective, social practices have taken a big flight in the arts. 

For Zuid. Boijmans Van Beuningen, educator & public programs curator Docus van der Made and artist & Musée Légitime director Martin La Roche present a three episode series that explores the history and current practices of social practices in the arts, also known as Socially Engaged Art (SEA). During each of the sessions, participants engage with a core principle of SEA, first looked at through the lens of an influential and inspiring past art project, and then brought to life in the current context through a collective workshop assignment.  

Episodes: Reciprocity (Giving and Receiving), Breaking Boundaries (Learning and Listening), Interference (Making the Practical Poetical a.k.a. Guerrilla Poetics). Details on each episode following soon
