Fabra i Coats Contemporary Art Centre of Barcelona and off-site / on-site activities (at UVic-UCC in Vic and the Coma Cros Cultural Factory in Salt)

Transcendent University is a platform for collective knowledge and relational processing established by Assumpta Bassas (Faculty of Fine Arts, UB), Eva Marichalar-Freixa (Faculty of Education, UVic-UCC), Marta Ricart (Faculty of Education, UManresa) and Judit Vidiella (ERAM, UdG). Its purpose is to share and rethink performance and human body education that is studied as part of the respective subjects. As a platform it aims to explore possible overlaps and to rethink the academic format, based on a series of questions, dilemmas and tools regarding the social role of the university and education innovation.

17 January, 10:00 - 14:00 and 16:30 - 18:30

Contributions, performances and presentations by students from the Faculty of Fine Arts, UB and the Faculty of Education, UManresa as part of the Living In-between project.

On 17 January, as part of the process that began in September 2016, a series of performances and activities will be presented by students from UB's Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Education at UManresa, which they have been working on under different contexts in addition to intervening in the actual Art Centre space. The site specific performances “Con cuchillo y sin cuchillo: col·lectiva íntima” (With and Without a Knife: Intimate Collective), by the Fine Arts students who have already investigated the space at the centre, will be held in the morning. In the afternoon, from 17:00 onwards, the group from Manresa will present their project titled “El gest del present” (Gesture of the Present). At the end of each session an exchange forum will be held with the audience.
