Participants: Claudia Claremi (Madrid), Diogo Evangelista (Lisbon), Jordi Ferreiro (Barcelona), José Joaquin Figueroa (Caracas–New York), Lola Lasurt (Barcelona), Federico Martelli (Santiago de Chile–London), Momu & No Es (Lucia Moreno/Eva Noguera, Basel/Barcelona–Madrid), Quim Packard (Reus–Barcelona), Ariadna Parreu (Reus–Barcelona), Antoine Renard (Paris–Berlin), Maria Salazar (Logroño–Bilbao), Daniel Silvo (Cádiz–Madrid), Carlos Valverde (Cáceres–Barcelona) and Mónica Zamudio (Bogotá).

Combining the models of an art school and an artist residency, Campus' tuition-free learning peer-to-peer programme encouraged self-organisation and critical capacity through one-to-one tutorials and group activities led by the tutors who shared their expertise with the 14 participants.

'Campus' was structured into three modules: Module 1 (27 June–1 July): Closed-door presentations by the 15 participants, plus two open-door conferences (28 and 30 June) presenting four case studies of independent pedagogic international art programmes; Module 2 (4–29 July): four one-week workshops under the guidance of artists-tutors Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson, Renata Lucas, Peter Piller and Adrià Julià; and Module 3 (29 July–28 August): self-organised display of the ongoing research by each participant.

Module 2, 4–29 July
Work session 1: 4–8 July with Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson
Through video, photography and sound, participants experimented with the genre of portraiture and documentary, in dialogue with (post)conceptual, interventionists, relational and 'new realistic' artistic practices.

Work session 2: 11–15 July with Renata Lucas
(13 July, Visiting guest: Luis Bisbe, artist, Barcelona)
This week the group discussed a series of potential interventions, alterations or displacements around the Espai Cultural Caja Madrid and its immediate surroundings in the city center.

Work session 3: 18–22 July with Peter Piller
(20 July, Visiting guest: Francesc Ruiz, artist, Barcelona)
The week focused on the analysis of the artist's books and catalogues. Each student, in dialogue with Piller, developed a mock up artist's book taking into account the format that best suited their artistic practice.

Work session 4: 25–29 July with Adrià Julià
(27 July, visit to Toastmasters, Barcelona)
This last week focused on the performativity of artistic practice and the different mechanisms of presentation and representation of the participants own work and that of others. Participants worked around narrative strategies that considered the immediacy, presence, delegation and the absence of both the individual and the collective.
