Associative Experiences. Madrid based artist collectives

La Trasera, Facultad de Bellas Artes, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and workshops and artist-run spaces

hablarenarte: proposes a workshop for Fine Arts Students of the Universidad de Complutense de Madrid. It interconnects students of the faculty with artist collectives who develop cultural projects through collaborative work. The workshop participants present their own models and ideas of collaborative projects and share their experiences, ideas and opinions with the six invited collectives, some of whose members have studied at UCM and now work actively in Madrid. A first edition of this workshop was successfully held in April 2012 within the University Extension program “No-Credit”.

Workshop Objectives:

• Work with experienced artists who have completed studies in Fine Arts, within or outside of Universidad Complutense de Madrid
• Encourage contact between students and professionals
• Propose collaborative projects between artists and implement said projects
• Stimulate cultural entrepreneurialism outside of the official/normal realm

The workshop is intended mainly (but not exclusively) to students of the Faculty of Fine Art of the Complutense University. Those interested should apply with a proposal for a collaborative project, artistic or managerial (for example, putting together an exhibition featuring different artists or creating a cultural collaboration), that they would like to implement in a group setting.
