The Idea of an Educational Turn in Art

Summary/Abstract: This article is about the educational turn in contemporary art. At present, many artists are interested in educational projects—the planning of events in which education is not reduced to an auxiliary role (as is traditional with an exhibition). Simultaneously, however, the artists distance themselves from the school system and are attempting to experiment with education, treating it as an autonomous, alternative cultural practice. The author describes the traits and circumstances of this artistic phenomenon (above all, transformations in the field of socially engaged art, and criticism of the idea of a knowledge-based economy). She analyses the role of pedagogical methods and ideas in artistic and curating practices, while focusing primarily on methods of using dialogue in artistic projects.
