The project runs from February to May. The results is exhibited at ACVic from 18.05.2011 to 17.07.2011 .
Methodology
The project consists of the development of prior work with students at UVic, taking as a starting point an experience based on space and time. This means a route through a given area, enabling participants to reflect on an image and a set of concepts. Each student will format their work as a postcard, and send it on to a primary school, where a teacher will work with pupils on the proposed concepts, and make artworks based on the postcard each pupil receives. The work of each school may be presented in any other format. [download pdf file].
