Since its inception in 2013, the Arte Útil archive has become a collective steadily expanding as a tool for research and a resource for social practitioners. The archive is available for consultation at the website and consists of a growing database of around three hundred case studies that use art as a tool for societal change. It provides artistic strategies, a historical perspective, and a nexus between theory and praxis, besides being a platform to connect artistic projects and “users” from different geographies and contexts. Overall, it has become a nomadic pedagogical device able to trigger the discussion and the analysis of socially engaged art practice, its nature and its context involving not just artists but social agents and communities. As co-curators of the archive and educators, we interrogated ourselves regarding if curating as a social practice could expand the notion of education. Could we embrace the methodology of social practice to curate and generate pedagogical conditions fostering sustainability? Could we go beyond the conventional spaces and dynamics of academia? Could we integrate concepts like co-authorship and co-curating to cross from the arts to collective learning environments? How do we relate with the archive in other local contexts? In the last five years, we have implemented an evolving methodology that addresses all these questions, activating the Arte Útil archive as a pedagogical catalyst. The archive allowed collective experimentation and became a tool to infiltrate social practice both in the academic domain and galleries and museums’ educational ecosystems. In this article, we will analyse two different examples as case studies: from a research and artistic environment, a conversation with Onur Yıldız and Naz Kocadere, co-authors of “Art in use: case studies in Turkey” in May 2018, from a two-day workshop organised in collaboration with the Office of Useful Art at SALT Galata, Istanbul (TR); and from an educational perspective, the recent curriculum developed as part of the International Master Artists Educator (iMAE) in ArtEZ, Armhen (NL).

归档、策展和教育中的使用学转向：Arte Útil 案例

自 2013 年成立以来，Arte Útil 档案馆已成为一个稳步扩展的集体，作为研究工具和社会从业者的资源。该档案可在网站上查阅，其中包含一个不断增长的数据库，其中包含大约三百个案例研究，这些案例研究使用艺术作为社会变革的工具。它提供了艺术策略、历史视角以及理论与实践之间的联系，同时也是一个连接不同地域和背景的艺术项目和“用户”的平台。总体而言，它已成为一种游牧式教学工具，能够引发对社会参与艺术实践、其性质和背景的讨论和分析，不仅涉及艺术家，还涉及社会代理人和社区。作为档案馆的共同策展人和教育工作者，我们询问自己，将策展作为一种社会实践是否可以扩展教育的概念。我们能否采用社会实践的方法来策划和创造促进可持续性的教学条件？我们能否超越学术界的传统空间和动态？我们能否整合共同作者和共同策展等概念，从艺术跨界到集体学习环境？我们如何与其他地方环境中的档案建立联系？在过去五年中，我们实施了一种不断发展的方法来解决所有这些问题，激活 Arte Útil 档案作为教学催化剂。该档案允许进行集体实验，并成为渗透到学术领域以及画廊和博物馆教育生态系统中的社会实践的工具。在本文中，我们将分析两个不同的例子作为案例研究：从研究和艺术环境，与 Onur Yıldız 和 Naz Kocadere 的对话，他们是 2018 年 5 月“使用中的艺术：土耳其案例研究”的合著者，来自为期两天的研讨会与伊斯坦布尔 SALT Galata (TR) 实用艺术办公室合作举办；从教育的角度来看，最近的课程是作为国际艺术大师教育家 (iMAE) 的一部分在阿姆亨 (NL) 的 ArtEZ 开发的。
