Conference
ART & EDUCATION
Timetable
19 May 2006
12 noon - 2 pm
Preamble: On the conference
Session: An education as an institution of contemporary society.
Viktor Misiano: Towards the new Enlightenment.
In the contemporary art world the reference to the objectives of the education implies rather a sort of organic form of creative activity than a form of transmission of professional experience. In the art academies of today it’s the students who teach their professor, not otherwise.
Georg Schoellhammer: The documenta 12 Magazine
Over the next year, documenta 12 will open a dialogue with around 70 magazines, journals and online media from all over the world; a network will be created that aims to explore and discuss topics of current interest and relevance (not only) to the documenta 12. This dialogue will focus on three main themes – modernity as antiquity, subjectification and education – with particular emphasis being placed on reflecting the interests and specific knowledge of the respective local
contexts.

The highlighted issues: theoretical and methodological dominant in the research strategies in contemporary art, which is predetermine by its own nature; the two main shaping powers of contemporary education field, which still are in contradiction: the State education standards and the enrollment of Russia in Bologna process; the models of the theoretical perspectives of the educational programs in the field of contemporary art.
Nicolaus Schafhausen: Do not trust your audience - in how far do art institutions have to deal with new social realities.
There is not just one specific audience. The idea of the specific, well educated and informed public does not exist anymore. Today we are confronted with many different sorts of audiences with for instance many different expectations.
The public is basically not confident anymore in itself. This means that we have to ask ourselves constantly: which public feels itself represented by what we do when and in the way how we are programming art institutions. One of the key questions will be: who do we want be our audience ?
