ABOUT THIS SECTION

Presentation by Arts Schoolaboratory members Tony Evanko, Koyo Kouoh, and farid rakun.

Arts Schoolaboratory is an international collaborative of nine contemporary art institutions that focus on the pedagogical or “learnalogical” challenges imposed by their specific contexts. Arts Schoolaboratory’s goal is to develop a highly adaptable, open-source model for information-sharing that organizations can incorporate, modify, and improve based on their own needs. Education is a key factor in the global culture of artistic production, and as such is based on traditional methods and worldviews that are often hostile to the autonomous thinking necessary for critical practice. By devising an exchange platform, Arts Schoolaboratory interrogates this condition and offers the affiliated organizations as resources for (re)producing knowledge practices.
