Every year, the MACS offers specific, interdisciplinary activities based on the exhibitions working with various schools in order to open up the museum to a young audience through an interdisciplinary approach (dance, music and theatre projects) and thereby achieve its primary objective; making contemporary art accessible to everyone.

 

Closer Distance

Workshop with students from the sculpture option at La Cambre and the Images Dans le Milieu (images in the environment) course at ARTS2 
From 30th January to 28th February 2021


Distance rapprochée (Closer Distance) brings together works by eleven students from the art schools of La Cambre and ARTS2.

Invited by the MACS, the students took part in a workshop which confronted them with the museum space and the challenge of jointly creating an exhibition. The themes which emerged from the works that were brought closer together here clearly evoke the period of crisis we are currently experiencing. At a time when physical presence has temporarily disappeared from our daily lives, the questions of distance, separation and loss lie at the heart of their preoccupations and naturally form the common thread of this unique encounter between the two schools. 

With Igor Adamskiy, Marie Bertrand, Jérôme Boulanger, Thibault Danhaive, Sophia Dieckschafer, Thibaut Drouillon, Mehdi Gorbuz, Charlotte Lavandier, Yadi Lei, Lucas Mesdom and Gladys Siddi.

Educational visit for future teachers 

2019

 

Some fifty students - future teachers, discovered the MACS during a one-day visit focusing on the theme of education. 

During this informative and formative visit, the students were able to consider various questions such as “what is contemporary art?”, “what use is it for a child?”, “how can it be introduced in a school group?”, etc. and to debate them during a philosophical workshop at the museum.

Divided into 3 phases, this project enabled students to gain an awareness of a discipline with which they were less familiar, contemporary art. 

During a first meeting with the class, the students were introduced to the themes covered in the exhibition The Bees of the Invisible. 

Following this initiation, the students visited the exhibition accompanied by a guide, before pursuing their discovery in the classroom. 

In the 3rd and last meeting, they considered various artistic practices, including those of Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Beuys, before concluding with a debate.
