The Contemporary Practices programme arose in connection with International Museum Day, an established countrywide event which encourages huge audiences to visit museums and exhibition spaces in Spain. This phenomenon raises certain questions. For example, does it make culture more accessible or more spectacular? Does it create participants or audiences? How are the resources managed? Where and how is contemporary art generated? Contemporary Practices is an annual encounter between independent associations, artists, cultural managers, students and institutions who question and analyse these variables during a weekend event.
For the 2017 edition a series of meetings was organised to lay the foundations for a trans-European network. The programme also featured exhibitions and reviews of Spanish artists, a roundtable open to the public, a guided tour of exhibition venues and urban interventions. AC/E supported the participation of cultural agents from the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Portugal and Greece.
