Pedagogical Factory: How We Develop a Critical Reader on a Topic of Great Importance
Posted by DIM on July 24, 2007
- Date: July - September, 2007
- Location: Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago
- Managing Directors:
Director of the Dept. for the Investigation of Neutrality & Palatability (DINP)
Director of the Dept. for the Investigation of Radical Pedagogy (DIRP)
Two Directors were invited to participate in “Pedagogical Factory: Exploring Strategies for an Educated City” at the Hyde Park Art Center, organized by Jim Duignan of the Stockyard Institute (and realized with the help of many others). Working with other artists, collaboratives, and groups, the project will transform the gallery space into a temporary factory that will design and implement an extensive series of programs and events throughout the two month project. From this collaborative stage, “Pedagogical Factory” will interrogate the overlap between education, economics, art, and activism, creating a venue to explore alternatives to traditional notions of education and social art.
For the exhibition, the Think Tank created a Prototype for a Pedagogical Furniture to contain and present Volumes I and II of the reader series. As a prototype, the piece begins an exploration of small-scale, mobile furniture which might be deployed in various contexts to assist arts education. The readers were offered as an example of sustained, critically-focused compilations of texts which might lead the reader along a course of study.
