Observations: ACVic will give teaching staff an opportunity to visit the exhibition in advance, and to join the guided visit, in order to adapt their group's visit to suit.

[Please contact us to confirm attendance at this event.] Photographs of visits will be taken and sent to the contact within each group, and will also be published on the ACVic website.

GUIDED TOUR FOR GROUPS
Accompanied by an ACVic docent, visitors will look at Toni Giró's and Jordi Mitjà's works in greater depth. These two artists use the mechanisms of contemporary art to talk about, and make us think about, the role we play as consumers in the current economic system.
We buy, spend, throw away, buy ... but are we fully aware of what we're doing?
The value of these two artists' works lie in demonstrating critical points in a collective imaginary associated with excess and abundance, points which end up forming the rulebook for a widespread social behaviour.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY - The suitcase of junk
A worn-out suitcase, frayed ribbons, a coffee-maker which no longer makes coffee ... Like artist Jordi Mitjà, we'll attempt to breathe new life into discarded objects, and together we'll put on a weird and wonderful exhibition.
