Toulouse. 29 schools exhibited at the Espace Squirrel Foundation
This year, 1,000 students from 29 establishments in the region are taking part in the educational project carried out with the Toulouse Academy.
From kindergarten to higher education establishments, they exhibit their visual arts work on the walls of the Foundation. This year, the students and their teachers were inspired by Circulate, There’s Nothing to See, a performative exhibition presented at the Foundation this fall.
This unique artistic experience consisted for visitors to discover works by word. Invisible to the naked eye, they were materialized by their single outline drawn in pencil, but told in all their details by a teller or a teller.
Between November and March, 19 colleges and high schools, 9 primary schools and 1 higher education establishment took up the themes of the exhibition, by going on site or, for establishments far from Toulouse, by relying on a rich traveling exhibition teaching materials.
In truth brings together the work done in class, inspired by the speeches of the tellers. The students seized on the power of language to imagine various plastic creations, between podcasts, tableaux vivants on video or drawings born from listening to a text written from masterpieces.
On arrival, a particularly lively exhibition, punctuated by dance performances offered by students from the Joseph Lakanal elementary school in Toulouse, once a week, during the exhibition.
The Educational Project at 30
“Rather than congratulating all the teachers who have placed their trust in us over the years, I tell you what for us is the success of this longevity: young teachers who participate with their classes in today’s educational projects and who knew the squirrel space as a child, on a school visit, a young shoot whose work was hung on our walls, so thirty years ago. And also, this young woman, student in aesthetics, whom I contact in Paris for a possible collaboration, a common project and who says to me: “Ah, but I know the squirrel space, I came there with my class when I I was a child, in Muret”. Here, pleasure, satisfaction, thanks to all the teaching staff for these long years, so rich”. Sylvie Corroler, director of the Espace Ecureuil Foundation.
