When talking about artistic research I refer to revisit our lifes in order to transform the things that we don’t like into things that we want to see and wish to live.

To revisit means also to examine the ways of thinking and positioning: How did I get here from there? Which processes, opinions, formed my knowledge and why?

In the last couple of years the primary drivers of the research interest for the dissertation work and our labour at Enmedio-Collective focused on questions that appeared in the context of the spanish economical crisis.
-How is uneasiness represented by those who experience it? How is it comunicated?
-Which artistic practices can we use to represent uneasiness, and how do they relate to changes in the modes of production, its organization, and distribution?
-To what extent does self-representation help to transform the situation of the expressing subjects?

TO BE CONTINUED:

questions within the fields of art + education got on the spot:
_How art transforms education + how education transforms art?
_Art as a joyful tool within knowledge production?

Those questions animated us within the project of La Maleta de Cine – artistic filmmaking with kids to intervene in given didactic material or even create our own didactic material for classes and courses. Creating collaborative modes of of production and exhibition, two processes that are inscribed in every artistic project.

Artistic intervention as cultural labour within (institutional) knowledge production.
