Abstract:

The article seeks to critically understand processes of creation and sharing outside of the classroom, in two different spaces based in Porto – Coo195 and Entre. Coo195 is configured as a collective studio, a workspace similar to the classroom, but without the exclusive supervision of professors and specialized technicians. Entre consists of an exhibition window, which relates what is produced in the academic environment with the Academy’s outside context. This allows the contact, different dynamics and the confrontation of this exhibition project and artworks’ display with the local community. From the relational practices and contamination operated in these spaces, we question the ability to promote artistic work and the relevance of establishing other spaces outside the Academy. These proposals promote the transitoriness of artists and offer visibility to the artistic work developed in these scopes. The objective of this type of space is to bring the community closer to artistic practice/thought and to favor the artistic continuity promoted by the Academy.
