We review the schools’ curriculums and even their text books. We work closely with classroom and art teachers, as well as administrators and coordinators to develop our ideas for exhibitions and programs. LT: Kidspace is an integral partner of the local schools. JF: How is Kidspace aware of the themes and questions students are studying in schools? Do you look at curriculum and help find ways for Kidspace to fit into the overall plan? In such a small community, it is wonderful to be able to offer the schools numerous engagements with the arts. There they follow up on themes addressed in Kidspace exhibitions or utilize their visual literacy skills in different ways or in different contexts. As part of their Kidspace program, the students also visit MASS MoCA, WCMA, and The Clark. Laura Thompson: The partnership with the three museums really is beneficial to the schools. What do you enjoy most about the partnership with these museums? One would think that the three museums in such close proximity would be in competition with one another for visitors, but it sounds like MASS MoCA has a great relationship with The Clark and WCMA. Joe Fusaro: Kidspace works within MASS MoCA and develops programs in a close relationship with The Clark and Williams College of Art.

Miguel graduated in Fine Arts and Painting from the School of Visual Arts, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Miguel’s paintings and installations-which frequently manipulate traditional Carnival techniques in polyurethane foam, resin, and papier-mache-convey the layered histories of Rio de Janeiro’s landscape from a critical periphery. An inveterate collector of quotidian objects, Miguel’s practice explores the fluid relationships and personal stories embedded in familiar household items and consumer products to reframe the international dimensions of Pop Art and the avant-garde in Brazil. Speak with the artist following his talk and create art inspired by Miguel’s colorful work-plus there’ll be coffee and a treat from Lickety Split on us.īruno Miguel lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
