A*DESK has been offering since 2002 contents about criticism and contemporary art. A*DESK has become consolidated thanks to all those who have believed in the project, all those who have followed us, debating, participating and collaborating. Many people have collaborated with A*DESK, and continue to do so. Their efforts, knowledge and belief in the project are what make it grow internationally. At A*DESK we have also generated work for over one hundred professionals in culture, from small collaborations with reviews and classes, to more prolonged and intense collaborations.

At A*DESK we believe in the need for free and universal access to culture and knowledge. We want to carry on being independent, remaining open to more ideas and opinions. If you believe in A*DESK, we need your backing to be able to continue. You can now participate in the project by supporting it. You can choose how much you want to contribute to the project.

Study Program A*DESK 2012-2013 / Barcelona

“Creation is all about mediators. Without them nothing happens.” Gilles Deleuze

A TRAINING PROGRAMME, FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS, WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO DESIGN A PATHWAY THAT SUITS YOUR INTERESTS.

The Barcelona Study Programme of A*DESK 2012-2013 is structured around three itineraries, that facilitate a panoramic gaze upon contemporary artistic creation, while at the same time focussing attention on some pertinent areas of analysis, given the transformations that are currently taking place.

The programme is directed at art students as much as at professionals who want to broaden their training. In this way each one of the itineraries of the Barcelona Study Programme of A*DESK 2012-2013 unfolds into a series of seminars, laboratory spaces and workshops, where the option of each user designing a route according to their own specific interests or choosing to follow the whole programme is contemplated.

Each one of the three itineraries are subdivided into 6 seminar sessions, to which specialist professionals from different areas of artistic creation are invited; a series of visits to cultural spaces in Barcelona; a series of practical laboratory sessions with different tutors; and 2 workshops led by internationally recognised agents.

3 itineraries with which to traverse the transformations in artistic creation that are currently taking place:

ITINERARY 1: EMERGENT CULTURES. TOOLS FOR CULTURAL ANALYSIS AND ARTISTIC RESEARCH.

The symbiosis between artistic and research practices, the opening up of new perspectives, research into processes of artistic mediation, the analysis of processes of cultural emergence and visual culture, ethno-methodologies, documentary investigation, transdisciplinarity and innovative research.
