Living to Learn

An important collection examining the vital connections between art and pedagogy

Published with Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University.

This book presents the work of artists, curators, collectives and scholars who address contemporary art as a site of learning in the 21st century. Building on earlier histories of education as civic service for the common good, it focuses on the last 25 years, as well as the question of the future of art education-as a practice that unfolds both in and beyond school. The book constructs an impressionistic constellation of case studies to see how innovations in education have had a dynamic relationship with artistic practice, alternative arts organizations, universities and museums.
