Art Education: A Study: Jan 10

Art Education: A Study
Sunday, January 10, 7pm
Cabinet
300 Nevins St, Brooklyn

Ad Hoc Vox and Cabinet Magazine are pleased to invite you to Art Education: A Study, a panel discussion on the relationship between art and pedagogy developed in response to Cabinet Magazine's Darcy Lange: Work Studies in Schools.

Too bohemian for the establishment, too avant-garde for the academy, too anti-intellectual for school: the artist, in many popular conceptions, resists education. Yet from the Académie des Beaux-Arts, to the Bauhaus, to the MFA, the history of art is also a history of the institutions that have accredited its practitioners. These institutions have determined both how art is made and distributed, and what art is—defining art not only functionally, but also philosophically.

Ad Hoc Vox, itself an educational context, will not only examine this history in light of current debates about the MFA and the professionalization of the arts, but also by considering alternatives offered to us by non-traditional methods of education, the history of the academy, and models for the future of art school. To do so we have gathered together artists and art historians who have looked closely and critically at how art education has shaped artistic production. The panel's participants are Bruce High Quality Foundation University, Colin Lang, Robert Linsley, Mira Schor, and Howard Singerman. Colleen Asper will moderate the panel, which will be followed by a Q&A with the audience.
