When Sign Meets De-Sign: Can Art be Taught?

  • Spencer Roberts (Speaker)

Activity: Talk or presentation typesInvited talk

Description

The encounter between artistic practice and institutional education is generative of a number of tensions concerning conceptual, experiential and material ways of understanding the world. Using James Elkins’ Why Art Cannot be Taught: A Handbook for Art Students (2001) as a point of provocation, this lecture explores education in the arts from a Deleuzian perspective, addressing the institutionalisation of artistic practice, the primacy of material thinking and the character of artistic research.
