BLANCDEguix, escola de dibuix i pintura (el Masnou). Cori Mercadé i Núria Fusellas: ser artista en la relació docent

Three years ago, Cori Mercadé, an artist working with conceptual practices and Núria Fusellas, who has a degree in Journalism/Advertising met at the school where both of them take their children and began to talk about their educational practices as mothers and as educators in their free time and about their desire to create a school of drawing and painting. Both were in agreement over many things, for example, in that they did not want to teach how to do a “pretty painting” according to the canons or to steer the boys and girls towards an “artistic career”. They thought of a school guided by the symbolic order of the mother, although at that time they did know of these words to call it thus, but nevertheless what motivated them was their love as mothers and their love of education. “BLANCDEguix” was born in October 2004 in Masnou (Maresme). In this conversation they explain to us how they encourage pleasure in learning and teaching in a context where relationships are the live material that make the cloth on which to paint. That same material has made them enjoy more of a relationship with some women from Duoda and continue to be guided by their readings of the thinking of sexual difference in education, history and art history.
