Stepping Out of Line

The educational program of the Antonio Pérez Foundation (FAP, based in Cuenca) offers various activity options that, essentially, and from Antonio Pérez’s perspective, engage with diverse contemporary artistic practices.

Antonio’s found objects serve as the guiding thread introducing us to his foundation through three pathways (pareidolia, literature, and connections with major reference artists in art history). Notably, the collection emphasizes the presence of women artists, as well as in the different monographic rooms dedicated to Antonio’s artist friends, who, in turn, are part of Cuenca’s historical and artistic narrative.

In this new phase, new educational proposals are presented for the current temporary exhibitions and collaborations with guest artists who will expand the great family of the FAP.

All activities are designed to accompany participants, awakening their curiosity, prompting reflection, and encouraging playful experimentation with processes and materials. This approach aims to provide a vision beyond the artistic work and to incorporate the fundamental principles of experiential autonomous learning into new collaborative artistic practices.

In line with its title, the program ‘Stepping Out of Line’ seeks to build meaningful learning, change perceptions, and break free from conventional norms.

We hope to achieve this, and we thank you for joining us.

Objectives

  1. To showcase the creative, poetic, and literary imagination of Antonio Pérez and his connections with the diverse works of artists that make up the FAP collection.
  2. To promote active participation in temporary exhibitions as a starting point for discussing a wide range of relevant topics.
  3. To facilitate access to culture through educational visits, workshops, and other cultural and artistic mediation resources.
  4. To provide a series of stimuli aimed at encouraging each individual to develop curiosity, self-criticism, and their own projects.
