Programme Learning Space
What does the building of the future art school smell, taste and feel like? That question is becoming very concrete in Zwolle, now that there are plans for new ArtEZ buildings in the Spoorzone (‘Rail Zone’). ArtEZ is taking the development into its own hands, starting a collective process. The purpose-built temporary architectural firm, TAB50, will design and guide this process, and ultimately the construction of our own Future Art School.Today is your chance to have a say, whilst we are still at the beginning phases. What kind of buildings and learning spaces do we need? What experiences can they make possible for students, faculty and visitors? What new opportunities can we develop in the Spoorzone? What is actually the significance of an art academy in the city of Zwolle?
In the process you will get acquainted with different ways to really involve people in artistic and participatory processes. With the dreamed new building as an example, we practice with co-creative practices and methods to listen carefully to future users and other stakeholders, especially outside your own discipline and circle.

Die vraag wordt in Zwolle wel heel concreet, nu er plannen zijn voor nieuwe ArtEZ-gebouwen in de Spoorzone. ArtEZ neemt de ontwikkeling in eigen hand en start een collectief proces. Het speciaal voor dit doel opgerichte tijdelijke architectenbureau, TAB50, ontwerpt en begeleidt dit proces, en uiteindelijk ook de bouw van onze eigen Future Art School.
Vandaag is je kans om mee te praten, nu we nog aan het prille begin staan. Wat voor soort gebouwen en leerruimten hebben we nodig? Welke ervaringen maken zij mogelijk voor studenten, docenten en bezoekers? Welke nieuwe mogelijkheden kunnen we ontwikkelen in de Spoorzone? Wat is eigenlijk de betekenis van een kunstacademie in de stad Zwolle?
Al doende maak je kennis met verschillende manieren om mensen werkelijk te betrekken bij artistieke en participatieve processen. Met het gedroomde nieuwe gebouw als voorbeeld, oefenen we in de lijn Learning Spaces met methodes om goed te luisteren naar toekomstige gebruikers en andere belanghebbenden, vooral ook buiten je eigen discipline.

Thursday morning 30 November
Time: 11:00-13:00
Location: Perron038
How do we envision an accesible art school in the buildings of ArtEZ? An accessible art school is not only for the crip and disabled community, it concerns everyone and all the intersections matter. We start our workshop with exploring your own access needs for your ideal future art school and make you aware about those. We share some knowledge about terminology from the disabled community; crip, criptime, social and medical model and ableism. With interactive exercises we challenge the participants to envision and design their future art school in the workshop space.
How can people thrive in an accessible art school and what would it look like for you as an individual in your context? After sharing those visions we question if we still miss some perspectives, as this of course depends on the diversity of our participants. We wonder if it’s even possible to design an accessible art school that’s inclusive for everyone. Or will someone’s access need in a certain way exclude another one’s access need? The last question we would like to drop is how we can already start with small suggestions to make a radical accessible art school within the structure, the building and system we’re in right now.

We live in fight-or-flight mode. This lifestyle permeates every context - family, work, school, social life - and our stress levels keep rising. On the same level, many educational settings require students to maintain high concentration levels while sitting still or when they are asked to complete assignments quickly. By pushing this responsiveness and “always-active mode”, we often forget to create time and space to feel, explore, or simply breathe.
By allowing deeper connections to our bodies, how could the educational setting change?
For almost a hundred years, somatic educators have been studying the eff ects on the body-mind connection, along with the positive impact of mindful movement. For instance, they noticed a signifi cant “increase in energy or a wave of feelings and ideas supporting creativity” in their participants (Eddy, 2017). More recently, embodied critical pedagogy studies (Johnson, 2018; Shapiro, 1999) have explored the value of the embodied perspective in educational settings. They fi nd it valuable for stimulating critical thinking and more horizontal learning environments.
By taking deep inspiration from somatic education end embodied critical pedagogy, Karolina Wargin (ArtistEducator) is bringing her 2 years of research on Embodied-Creative Learning method in this workshop. Students, teachers, and researchers are invited to a collaborative space where to refl ect on and co-create the future teaching methods and learning spaces. The participants will be guided through four co-creative practices aiming to explore, experiment, and co-design an embodied classroom. The fi nal intention is to create a collective moodboard of Embodied Learning Spaces.

Irene Müller
Irene Müller is a core lecturer in the In_architecture (BA) and Corpo-real (MA) courses at ArtEZ and the Master of Interior Architecture at the HKU. She is a spatial designer, creativity trainer and consultant for Economy for the Common Good, mainly in the field of public spaces, education / knowledge institutes, work environments, often at the intersection between (organizational) change and space. Trained as a product designer at the UdKBerlin, she uses a broad understanding of design: as 'Gestaltung' also of social and political interventions and ideals. She is interested in how post-property ideologies, distributive economics and new democratic practices are connected to space, design and art. In her work with students, she is curious about their ideals and how they perceive and increase their influence, and she guides students in developing their own research and methods and in developing future scenarios.

Thursday afternoon 30 November
Time: 14:15-16:30
Location: Perron038
Eric de Leeuw will open this afternoon session with an introduction about the design process of ArtEZ@Spoorzone: what are the guiding principles and first thoughts on requirements the design should meet? Eric de Leeuw is not only head of the ArtEZ bachelor of Interior Architecture, but also of TAB50, the temporary architectural firm that will be designing and supervising this process, and ultimately the construction of our own Future Art School.
Then artist and educator Johann Arens will introduce us to the intricacies of listening as an integral part of artistic labour. The workshop will explore the ethical principles of working in the public realm and with the people in it. Starting from the understanding that art and design are tools for civil participation and societal change, the workshop will discuss how students can work collectively and site-specific across the different locations of ArtEZ.
Together we will be developing extra-disciplinary methodologies to help students situating their practices right in the centre of communities in Zwolle. The workshop activities will help to shape a focused awareness of one’s choices and their impact on the immediate surroundings. As such, those partaking will be asked to make observations on social life, to listen to their audiences and they will be encouraged to rethink their own practise in dialogue with the public.
Irene Müller will be moderating the wrap-up by exploring experiences that the new art-school might enable, stretching our ideas into a world we cannot imagine yet.
