Amongst ourselves / off the record | Bruce Nauman
Students, divided in small groups, work together and share the results in a collective final discussion. In the first phase, the figure of Bruce Nauman is briefly introduced and examined in relation to the contemporary artistic context and to the role of performance. Then, the class is divided into smaller groups, each engaged on a specific key theme, which will stimulate a discussion among the participants. Based on these conversations, the students will then work on the creation of a new object: a narrative text, a poem, a drawing or a video, depending on their skills and desires. This is a highly interactive visit, very effective in holding the group’s attention.

Among us | Marlene Dumas
The exhibition of Marlene Dumas provides a number of possibilities for investigation, which in turn bear specific meanings and issues. Dumas' painting, in particular, is not only a fundamental element in the development of the histories of the arts, but also an opportunity to ponder about political and contemporary issues: body, language, gaze, racism and the family. Each class will then produce an original output. Discussion and dialogue will thus initiate a creative process within the group.
