Tutors: Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson, Renata Lucas, Peter Piller and Adrià Julià.

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’ was a five-week, tuition-free, peer-led learning programme that encouraged self-organisation and critical exchange. Through one-to-one tutorials, invited guests and collective sessions, four tutors shared their expertise with the fourteen participants, fostering a collaborative environment of support and mutual learning.

‘Campus’ was organised into three modules: Module 1 (27 June–1 July): closed-door presentations by the 15 participants, along with two public conferences (28 and 30 June) featuring four case studies of independent international art programmes; Module 2 (4–29 July): four one-week work sessions led by artists-tutors Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson, Renata Lucas, Peter Piller and Adrià Julià; and Module 3 (29 July–28 August): a self-organised display of each participant’s ongoing research.

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, 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, 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 past week focused on the performativity of artistic practice and the various mechanisms through which participants presented and represented both their own work and that of others. They explored narrative strategies that considered immediacy, presence, delegation, and the absence of both the individual and the collective.
Module 3, 29 July–28 August
29 July, 19:30–21h
Module 3 – Display of the research and works-in-process by participants and of the publication. Opening programme:
