PARADOXES OF TIME

CODE SCRIPT: D3-A-12

Objectives

The continuing education course will further teachers’ knowledge of contemporary art, starting from a series of works selected from the exhibition Les paradoxes du temps.

The following skills will be developed:

• identifying cultural apertures in one’s own discipline
• linking these apertures to the curriculum
• articulating awareness and gaze before the work
• identifying significant visual and cultural contexts
• articulating cultural referents in their contexts
• putting into practice methods that promote visual thinking
• formulating transdisciplinary avenues
• communicating with cultural partners
• reinforcing the coherence of one’s own cultural path

The sequence entails constructing a pedagogical path around a series of works chosen from the content of the exhibition Les paradoxes du temps.

This exhibition presents works of art in which different temporalities coexist, are superposed or even contradict themselves. This interest in non linear forms of time booms in the artistic production of the second half of the 60s, a period marked by an intense dialogue between the different artistic fields - visual arts, music, dance, cinema - also articulated around the notion on time.

Methodological approach

Taking a sequence at the Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean - Mudam Luxembourg, the course uses different forms of visual inquiry and object-based training, such as

• “savoir-voir” and observation
• comprehension, articulation and visual association
• reading, interpretation and analysis of an image and its pedagogic exploitation
• articulating what is seen in words
• the visualisation of a creative process
• the organisation, development and mastery of visual knowledges
