ART/EDUCATION. RELATIONAL EXPERIENCES IN ARTS EDUCATION

From the current context, the present text investigates some of the pos-sible modes of mediation between the concepts of Art and Education. On the one hand, we analyze the ways in which the so-called "educational turn" has crystal-lized in the last decade (Rogoff, 2008) and its impact on museum institutions. On the other hand, we place the focus on the use of the terms 'Art Education' and 'Art Educator' bringing together some significant experiences, from the artistic field and in the framework of institutional criticism, understanding mediation as an ex-ercise in experiential exchange. Projects developed from the regulated education are also presented, choosing educational proposals related to the training of train-ers. This analysis is focused on initiatives developed in the European and interna-tional context over the last fifteen years, a context defined by the transformations of knowledge and power relations in the traditional spaces of art. Namely in those artistic practices that incorporate educational practices, critical and postcolonial pedagogies, such as Documenta 12 (2007) or 6 Biennial of Mercosur (2010).
