The collaboration titled “Maribor EDU Graz“, which started out in 2012, serves as a platform for negotiating the possibilities of present-day art education and art training. Lack of artistic education and study programmes in university cities Maribor and Graz is set into the focus of the project Maribor EDU Graz. It investigates what has already been considered and written in both cities in their decades-long respective efforts. And, first and foremost, fresh input from theory and practice is to be used. Interesting international examples of artistic knowledge transfer about decentralized self-organized training models will be gathered and practical work with artists on site will immediately impact on both cities.
Maribor Edu Graz Lesson 2: Creating Realities
Participating artists: Nika Autor, Daniela Brasil, Marlene Hausegger, Matjaž Ivanišin, Constantin Luser, Matej Modrinjak / fotomuzej.si, Martin Osterider, Wendelin Pressl, Maruša Sagadin, Isidora Tomin Nataša Berk, Aleksandra Vajd & Hynek Alt, Petra Varl, Veli & Amos, Josef Wurm
The project series "Maribor <edu> Graz" brings together artists from both cities and is based on the fact that art education on an academic level neither exists here nor there. In a series of "Lessons", the project approaches topics relating to the functions and manifestations of temporary art education. While the first part of the project held in Graz dealt with "a temporary, improvised context of communication", part two emphasises on creating own, new realities.
The location on Glavni trg will be a Temporary ArtLab. During one week the participating artists will be present in the space, produce works for a subsequent exhibition, and will furthermore set some signs in the public space of Maribor. Processes open for participation by the audience will be triggered and discussion platforms offered.
