- Christopher Kennedy: 18:31:47
- nyc.thepublicschool.org
- BASEKAMP team: 18:32:04
- Is there a difference between traching artists and artists who teach?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:32:11
- oops teaching
- BASEKAMP team: 18:33:46
- we're all here!
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:34:17
- I seem to have lost audio connection
- atrowbri: 18:35:17
- it's cutting in and out here
- BASEKAMP team: 18:37:00
- or an Art Teacher?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:37:21
- david g, you're back in the call right?
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:37:29
- yes thanks
- BASEKAMP team: 18:38:33
- also links to projects?
- Christopher Kennedy: 18:39:00
- http://www.anothercupdevelopment.org/projects
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:39:34
- thank you
- Matthew Slaats: 18:40:55
- I kind of feel that teaching is a part of being an artist. Aren't we always trying to inform people about our practice, teaching them about ways of experiencing. Isn't that what teachers do every day in classes?
- Matthew Slaats: 18:41:30
- Good question?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:42:07
- uh oh...
- stephen wright: 18:42:30
- lost you
- Matthew Slaats: 18:43:31
- I'd be curious to hear about the relationship to the real teachers union? My guess is that the teaching artist union isn't beheld to standards, which gives them the freedom to pursue new ways of engagement.
- stephen wright: 18:43:33
- no sound
- choenbc" title="schoenbc">schoenbc: 18:43:45

- Matthew Slaats: 18:44:10
- I was bounced off the call.
- atrowbri: 18:45:00
- operator, we have been disconnected
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:45:05
- the audio has been cut off
- Christopher Kennedy: 18:45:10

- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:48:17
- how would you define an artist in the first place?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:48:19
- brett, cassie was just answering the question that Gerard asked
- Brett Bloom: 18:48:28
- ok. thanks
- BASEKAMP team: 18:48:39
- "what do artists bring to pedagody?"
- BASEKAMP team: 18:48:42
- paraphrased
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:49:04
- what has metaphysics got to do with anything?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:49:12
- what are artists' competencies - what do we "know"?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:49:35
- and how does that translate to autonomouse knowledge production?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:49:50
- Diana has a Q here
- BASEKAMP team: 18:49:55
- btw...
- Matthew Slaats: 18:50:27
- Do you guys know about the Institute of Play?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:50:29
- also henken has a Question here too
- atrowbri: 18:52:31
- Are you guys familiar with Albert Cullum? http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/touchofgreatness/teacher.html
- stephen wright: 18:53:13
- You guys really seem to believe in art! Like it could change the world. Isn't that pretty 20th century?
- Christopher Kennedy: 18:53:30
- www.schoolofthefuture.org
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:53:54
- Thats what i sense
- Christopher Kennedy: 18:54:35
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/schoolofthefuture/4341523373/
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:54:44
- that there is a danger of conveying the same errors and problems presented by Beuys
- Christopher Kennedy: 18:55:15
- http://schoolofthefuture.org/index.php?/site-sgt-doug/video-of-the-park/
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:55:51
- What happens if there is no such thing as the artist?
- BASEKAMP team: 18:56:11
- A Q from someone here: "How important is the process vs product of teaching artists?"
- Christopher Kennedy: 18:56:36
- process is key!
- stephen wright: 18:56:37
- In what way is it the school of the future? Rather than the school of the past? Not in terms of the status of the artist which you seem to endorse?
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 18:58:30
- so art becomes even more totalising than it already is?
- stephen wright: 18:59:09
- "art as a vehicle to learn everything else." that's a pretty strong statement.
- stephen wright: 19:00:05
- Why aren't you more sceptical about art?
- choenbc" title="schoenbc">schoenbc: 19:00:19
- Is it/how is it different than a simple "hands on" learning technique
- Christopher Kennedy: 19:00:21
- art world vs. education world vs. art education world
- Christopher Kennedy: 19:02:32
- school is the joke everyone gets
- Christopher Kennedy: 19:08:26
- http://schoolofthefuture.org/demonstrationdistrict/
- BASEKAMP team: 19:10:21
- So then really, the SotF is the school of today?
- BASEKAMP team: 19:10:30
- sounds like a Scientology hook
- stephen wright: 19:11:35
- how is one to acknowledge the specifity of art without implicitly according it a special status, a special privilege?
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 19:11:52
- Isnt the idea of any teaching of art to question the very basis & foundations of art rather than perpetuate its myths?
- BASEKAMP team: 19:12:06
- So after Henken's question -- stephen has a question next in queue
- BASEKAMP team: 19:12:39
- then David G has a Q after that...
- Christopher Kennedy: 19:14:40
- communities of practice - etienne wegner
- stephen wright: 19:18:13
- All artists say that!
- stephen wright: 19:22:55
- More broadly, do you see that teaching-art is a new paradigm of art-doing?
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 19:23:03
- There is a problem at the moment with the consolidation of bourgeoise culture and this conversation seems to perpetuate this dilema
- stephen wright: 19:23:18
- What some people have called the "pedagogical turn" in art doing?
- George W. Johnson: 19:23:19
- without art there is no education.!
- BASEKAMP team: 19:30:01
- Adam are you still with us? What do your students think? Any ?s from them?
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 19:31:27
- the sound is breaking up
- ost-autonomy" title="post-autonomy">post-autonomy: 19:31:43
