The Trouble with Art School
Art may be a subject for education, but education itself can be an art form. Known as the Pedagogical Turn, a panel of gallery and institute directors, academics and artists consider this relatively recent artistic medium in relation to alternative educational projects, and their relevance to the traditional art academy. see ICA - http://www.ica.org.uk/30933/Talks/The-Trouble-with-Art-School-BSL-Signed.html
Chaired by Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery, panel speakers include Irit Rugoff, Professor of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths University; artist Richard Wentworth; and artist and writer Dean Kenning.

In her essay “Academy as Potentiality,” Irit Rogoff draws attention to the changing priorities of the academy and proposes an alternative to its corporatization through the adoption of research and knowledge projects that privilege what is significant over what is useful. She introduces the concept of potentiality (and fallibility) as a way of re-thinking and re-making the academy as a space for speculation and experimentation rather than the manufacture of knowledge products. http://fillip.ca/content/a-pedagogical-turn
