The Educational Web at Kunstverein Hamburg aims to foster a dialogue between artistic practices and the pedagogies that help shape them. Eight art schools and programmes that define themselves as alternatives to the traditional ‘art academy’ and that hold key positions in today’s field of contemporary art have been invited for the exhibition. Over a four-month period, perspectives on their teaching models and pedagogical strategies will open up to the public.
The Educational Web includes various formats, including the active foundation of a new ‘school’, a curated group exhibition, the ‘solo exhibition’ of an institutional subject, exhibitions of work by current and former participants. These different elements will culminate in social spaces, designed for discourse and exchange, in which approaches to artistic education, past and future, will be reflected on. Participating programmes are: Afterall ArtSchool, (London, United Kingdom), AGENCY, (London, United Kingdom), BPA// Berlin Program for Artists, (Berlin, Germany), Chto Delat School of Emergencies, MASS Alexandria, (Alexandria, Egypt), Maumaus (Lisbon, Portugal), RAW Material Company, (Dakar, Senegal), and SCCA-Tamale, (Tamale, Ghana).
Founded in Lisbon in 1992, Maumaus promotes knowledge on contemporary art by organising study and artist residence programmes, producing films and publications, and presenting exhibitions in its public space called Lumiar Cité. Expanding the ideas developed for the exhibition Parting with the Bonus of Youth—Maumaus as Object at Galerias Municipais, Av. da Índia (Lisbon, 2019), the participation of Maumaus in The Educational Web is an attempt to render notions of pedagogic complexity visible by negotiating the terms of art, education, and the exhibition as medium itself.
