Education as occupation or artistic practice
Professional art education can be described as a potential occupation and a day job for artists. There are also artists who work with education as a central and significant part of their artistic practice. The talk and presentations will raise questions such as: are artists exploiting those who participate in educational activities? Do educational activities involve problematic power relationships? Who benefits most from these projects: the artist or the participant? How do we define good art projects, built on collective creativity and pedagogy?
Participants
Presentations will be made by the artists Gabo Camnitzer and Ruben Wätte, and Kristoffer Svenberg from Moderna Museet, who will present the Museum Museum project. The presentations will be followed by a talk.
Museum Museum
The seminar is part of Museum Museum, a development project for art and learning, and a platform for creativity. In Museum Museum, upper-secondary students mix with recent school-leavers seeking independence and a professional identity. In this context, the encounter with art can be decisive.
