Begging for a CHANEL. Yolanda Domínguez.
 
ART PRACTICE AS A PLACE OF [INTER] SOCIAL CHANGE. Under this title it happens one of the highlightened activities included in the Parallel Program of the contemporary art fair Art Madrid'15. The fair aims in this tenth edition to be open to new artistic initiatives and open them for a new, curious public and committed to what happens in contemporary art.
 
Yolanda Dominguez is, today, one of the most influential artists of the national scene with a blunt and sharp speech that do not let escape gender messages, social criticism and citizen action. Precisely, the action is what defines best her work, work that invading public spaces and forces people to stop, observe and reflect, and precisely art and action is what we propose in this workshop.
Fashion Victims Action. Yolanda Dominguez.
 
 
The concepts of "interaction" and "community" that characterize our social space today require new forms of relationship between artist and viewer. It is necessary to rethink the place and role of art in and out of the economic model and generate new forms of dialogue linking him with the public and current contexts.
 
This workshop presents art as a meeting place between people, as an activity that is inserted into the social spaces and tests the limits of resistance of the institutional sphere, a set of exchanges that goes beyond the material form to propose dynamic situations of collective experience.
 
We will discuss various strategies and proposals for social activation, new languages and areas of action and apply together in a group work.
