DOING (art) EDUCATION as ART (education)

Abstract

In this text you will be introduced to different examples of art and teaching as inseparable practices. The text enters from an artistic perspective with the agenda of experimenting with a merge and dissipation of the boundaries between art and education, and to incorporate not only the everyday, but also the phantasmagoric, mythical and nonsensical aspects of life, teaching, education and art. It does so by introducing the two perspectives and concepts; Bastards and Shadows. The shadow can be a place within institutions where to carry out trans-disciplinary experiments and making experiences when different disciplines and practices meets and merges. The bastard is the not (yet) recognized result of these meetings and merges. The concepts and examples presented are in motion between being (school) fictions playing with what might become with different disciplines in the future, and examples of practicing (art)education as (education) art. The text aims at creating future transdisciplinary and undefined practices by combining different fields, practices and disciplines with each other. You will meet a blend of art/non-art, in/formal-educational and everyday life examples and fictions with the intention to create, raise tension and expectations and to point out what DOING (art) EDUCATION as ART (education) can be and become.
