ABOUT
Part I. Between Institutions (February 15 – 19, 2010)
Part II. Beyond Institutions (March 8 – 11, 2010)
Extra-curricular: Between Art & Pedagogy, is an international conference and curatorial project exploring the relationship between art, education, audience development, and activism. The conference will take place in two parts: I. Between Institutions (February 15–19, 2010) and II. Beyond Institutions (March 8–11, 2010). It will be accompanied by special projects, installations, workshops, and residencies with internationally renowned artists, educators, and researchers, with keynote guests Annette Krauss (Utrecht, Netherlands), Xu Tan (Guangzhou, China), and Carmen Mörsch (Zurich, Switzerland). Collaborating organizations include Gendai Gallery (Toronto), Gallery TPW (Toronto), Ontario Association of Art Galleries, Vitamin Creative Space (Guangzhou, China), and Toronto Free Gallery.
The event will bring together practitioners working at experimental, critical, and radical crossings of art and education. Propelled by research on pedagogical art practices by Maiko Tanaka (Curator-in-Residence at the JMB Gallery), the conference and exhibition aim to develop new and critical models of exchange between the two fields and cultivate dialogical, affective, physical confrontations and meetings between artists, learners and publics. The two-part conference will be held at Hart House, at the University of Toronto. Focusing on “supplemental,” “extra-curricular,” and “in-between” spaces of the formal curriculum of academic institutions, the project will explore the various ways critical and radical pedagogy is employed by artists working through these spaces and beyond.
The conference includes art installations by Xu Tan and Adrian Blackwell, as well as performances, workshops, and film screenings at Hart House and off-site locations. Guangzhou-based artist Xu Tan will be developing a new phase of his ongoing participatory project Keywords School, scheduled to take place during Part I: Between Institutions. His project will be followed by an experimental architectural installation, Model for a Public Space (Speaker), produced by Toronto-based architect and artist Adrian Blackwell. The latter project will function as a site for the roundtable discussions and presentations for Part II: Beyond Institutions, and continues as a platform for open-ended public forums by student and community groups through to the end of March 2010. Part II also takes place in conjunction with Utrecht-based artist Annette Krauss's Visiting Artist Residency at the JMB Gallery.
