What does GRAF offer

— Shared calendar
Access to the internal organization tool for GRAF’s spaces. It gathers the information of all the activities planned for the future or in the process of being programmed. The aim of the calendar is to share this information in the mid and long term, in order to generate valuable knowledge and enable the strategic planning of new activities. The advantage of this is the optimization of resources. GRAF provides direct contact with the rest of GRAF’s spaces.

— Public agenda
Bring to light and spread the programme of the spaces in the public access agenda. The agenda offers a quick consultation site of GRAF spaces’ programme, proposals from different fields of contemporary art and from all over the Catalan geography. The aim of the agenda is to make the programme of institutional and independent spaces/projects more accessible and to contribute in the development of new audiences, facilitating the transfer between different disciplines.

— Search engine
Access to all the information related to the spaces and their programmes published in GRAF, both present and past. GRAF generates an archive of the events that have taken place in the context of Barcelona and Catalonia, as well as of the spaces that have been part of them. Thus, GRAF contributes to the collective memory, visibilizes the reality of the context and offers a free access point to check this information.

— Personalized support
Support to the spaces for the publication of its programme in the calendar. The online tool is based on a personalized relationship with each one of the spaces in order to detect their specific needs and to periodically facilitate the entering of your data.

— GRAF meetings
Periodic meetings with the spaces to share their programme, evaluate GRAF and program activities of interest for the spaces and the specialized audience. GRAF is constantly evolving in dialogue with the needs of the spaces.

— Social networks
Support for the visibility of the spaces and the activities that they programme through GRAF’s social networks.

— Monthly newsletter
Information channel, via email, with the monthly programme of GRAF’s spaces. Preview of the spaces’s programme, which is then expanded in detail in the weekly agenda. The Newsletter helps reaching the final user with the information of the spaces

— GRAF Routes
Periodic articles made by external collaborators and/or people linked to GRAF’s spaces. GRAF’s Routes generate a virtual tour of the local cultural scene, including some of GRAF space’s programmes.

— Highlighted space in the agenda
GRAF provides highlighted spaces on the agenda, in the form of banners, to announce special events. The banner is composed of an image and/or a text, in horizontal or vertical format. It works as a link to an external web page and it is visible for as long as you need on the main page of GRAF.net, accompanied by all the programme of the weekly agenda.

— We publish your programme in GRAF
GRAF offers a data entry service for spaces with a high-volume programme. You periodically send us your schedule for the future and we publish it on GRAF’s calendar in order to save time and assure you share your updated and long-term information with the rest of the spaces and with the audience.

— Communication campaign
GRAF designs specific communication campaigns for the spaces. We think about how you can support your special programme with all the facilities of GRAF’s platform.

Session by Hamaca for Santa Mònica’s Video Tuesdays.

Screening of Caucus Fuengirola by Agustín Parejo School, with the intervention of Claudia Delso Carreira

Caucus Fuengirola is the documentation of a collective action carried out in Fuengirola on 4 January 1986: it consisted of a parody of an electoral campaign emptied of any reference to any political identity, “valid for any party in any circumstance”. The Malaga-based artistic activist group Agustín Parejo School resorts to the strategy of absent-mindedness and uses the public space, as in many of its actions, as a space of appearance and as an institutional inheritance. Caucus follows the rule that every political campaign must have its own personality and must create a kind of corporate identity or brand, reflecting both the ideology of the party it represents and the values of the candidates, but it makes fun of it by generating a naked and voracious critique of the theatre with which it tries to buy the citizen.

Agustín Parejo School has as the focus of significance of his work, according to the poet and professor Esteban Pujals, “a collective hyperactivity developed in the interstices of post-Franco Spain, in the fugue, not only with respect to the work and art of talent, but also with respect to party politics (…)”. He was probably not fully aware of the potential of this and other actions they carried out in the 1980s in terms of social analysis and the questioning of certain effects of symbolic production.

The screening of Caucus Fuengirola will be accompanied by the presence of Claudia Delso Carreira, who from the video will address issues such as the political imagination today, – or perhaps rather the lack of it after the citizens’ movement 15-M – about something that we perceive seems like a crisis of thought and collective articulation towards the institutional at a time of structural crisis in all areas of life. These are some of the questions we launched to activate the session and the conversation: How to activate the political imagination in a reactionary moment? At what point did we stop connecting with the desire for possible futures collectively? Did entering the institutions mean a loss of creative capacity? Can the juridical be sexy?

GRAF is a tool to improve the communication and coordination between the spaces of contemporary art in Catalonia. The agenda of those who share their agendas.
