The Journey of the Object: From the Ordinary to the Extraordinary.

Imagine a broken cup, a fallen leaf, or a simple piece of thread. Common objects, invisible to most, yet full of potential that few dare to explore.

Object and installation art, as we understand it today, is rooted in a historical tapestry that connects human curiosity with the most innovative forms of expression.

This first week focuses on one goal: completely changing the nature of an everyday object by altering its materiality. Inspired by works like Claes Oldenburg's "Soft Sculptures" or Meret Oppenheim's "Déjeuner en Fourrure,

In this second week, we will focus on a fascinating task: transforming everyday objects into characters with their own identity and narrative.

In this third week, we’ll learn to rediscover and reorganise our everyday surroundings, inspired by the work of Gabriel Orozco.

In this fourth week, we’ll explore how to intervene in public and private spaces using everyday objects or materials.

In this fifth week, we’ll explore how to conceal or transform objects through techniques of wrapping and casting, inspired by the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude and Rachel Whiteread.

In this sixth week, we will explore how to combine icons of popular culture with artisanal or traditional techniques to reflect on globalisation and cultural identity.

In this seventh week, we’ll explore the act of destroying, disassembling, and reorganising objects or spaces as a creative process.

In this eighth week, we’ll explore how the accumulation of objects can be a powerful tool to tell stories, convey emotions, and create visual impact.

In this ninth week, we will work with organic and perishable materials to explore the relationship between nature, time, and the fragility of existence.

In this tenth and final week, we will explore how everyday objects can be transformed into small personal museums or reliquaries of memory.

In this eleventh week, we will explore the relationship between mass production and individuality, using repetition as an artistic tool.

In this final week, we’ll explore how objects can be used to construct fictional narratives, imaginary worlds, and subversive scenes.

You’ve reached the end of this journey, but what truly matters begins now. Over these weeks, you’ve transformed objects, challenged your own ideas, and explored techniques you may never have imagined. But this course wasn’t just about learning to create—it was about learning to see.
