Making Art School

Jan Masschelein: Making Art School: A Story about (Cave) Walls and Tables

This lecture is part of the series Critical Pedagogies of the 21th Century developed by the Master of Education in Arts of the Piet Zwart Institute and is part of the seminar Critical Pedagogy (course tutors Mirjam van Tilburg and Tom Vandeputte). The first lecture entitled Making Art School: A Story about (Cave) Walls and Tables is organized in close cooperation with the educational department of Witte de With, Center for Contemporary Art, and marks the starting point of a structural cooperation in the framework of Studium Witte de With.

What is a school? How does it influence and construct politics and social relations in our present day society? This question is the starting point for the lecture series Critical Pedagogies of the 21th Century, which deals with the phenomenon ‘school’ on a philosophical, theoretical and fictional level.
