Workshop: Mobilities and Landscapes — a Journey through the Landscapes of Aix-en-Provence, Lisbon, and Cáceres to Malpartida de Cáceres

Activities

This workshop took place from 22 to 29 March 2025. After travelling through France, Portugal, and Spain (Cáceres), participants followed in the footsteps of Wolf Vostell, a leading figure of the Fluxus movement. Vostell fell in love with Malpartida de Cáceres and the Los Barruecos landscape, establishing his studio there in 1976 – later the Museo Vostell Malpartida (MVM). The museum now holds an important Fluxus collection, reflecting the regular presence of artists in the 1980s and 1990s. During this journey, participants also met local residents and friends of Vostell who had taken part in this Fluxus adventure, encounters that proved among the most meaningful moments of the stay.

The workshop was facilitated by Carlos Casteleira, Catherine Melin and Abraham Poincheval (ESAAIX), Lourdes Germain (artist), Ricardo Pereira Rodrigues and Margarida Carvalho (IPL). The students involved were Amaya Cascio, Donatien Tapa, Dosoung Kim, Léa del Vesco, Lio Rof Sanchez, Ollie (Olivier Quecan) and Zoé Jude (ESAAIX); Beatriz Serrano Santos, Carlos Barriga Granado, Chelo del Río Simón and Elena de Mena Pacheco (Cáceres University); Francisco Nave, Hugo Trigueiros, Mariana Tenorio, Margarida Carmo and Rita Serra (ESCS-IPL).
