The exhibition is an initiative of ACVIC Centre d’Arts Contemporànies and Centre de Recursos Pedagògics d'Osona.

The exhibition showcases a diversity of approaches to the concept of CONTACT, from the projects involved in the 15th edition of Art and School.

From a transatlantic letter to electrical connections, we invite visitors  to explore what happens when we connect with techniques and materials, with the environment, with others, and with ourselves.

Contact may be internal or external, bodily or emotional. It manifests in both verbal and non-verbal communication. Through relational practices, sensory experiences, and experimental processes, these projects centre upon the body as a test surface, highlighting bodily awareness and demonstrating that contact is not neutral; that it transforms, leaves traces, imprints, scars.

Along the way visitors will find works that  will invite them to participate. It is not just about looking, but also about interacting,  playing, exploring, and reflecting upon those things which words cannot cover; thinking with your hands, seeing with your fingers, speaking with your body.

Contact is also addressed beyond words, through resources such as ARASAAC pictograms, or systems such as Braille, which offer other forms of relationship, access, and understanding.

Contact is also deployed as a social network; links, coexistence and community. Correspondences and collaborations form a collective fabric which is made visible in the exhibition space.

Finally, the projects highlight those forms of tacit knowledge which form part of personal or collective experience, unformalised, and difficult to transmit without direct experience.

ACVIC Centre d’Arts Contemporànies and Centre de Recursos Pedagògics d'Osona are organising this exhibition.

The exhibition shows different ways to explore the idea of CONTACT. The works come from the 15th edition of Art and School.

Visitors can explore many kinds of contact. For example, they can explore a letter sent across the Atlantic Ocean or electrical connections.

Visitors can also explore how we connect with materials, the environment, other people and ourselves.

Contact can happen inside or outside the body. It can be physical or emotional. It can happen through words or without words.

The projects use activities with other people, experiences that use the senses, and experiments. They focus on the body and how we feel it.

Contact is not neutral. It can change us and leave marks on us.

Some works invite visitors to take part. Visitors can interact, play, explore and think about things that are hard to explain with words.

Visitors can think with their hands, see with their fingers and speak with their bodies.

Some projects use ARASAAC pictograms (pictures that help people communicate) and Braille (a system of raised dots that people read by touch). These offer other ways to connect, take part and understand.

Contact can also happen through social networks, relationships and community life. Letters and shared projects connect people. The exhibition shows these connections.

The projects also show knowledge that people learn through experience. This knowledge can be personal or shared. It can be hard to explain without experiencing it directly.
