Vindicating Didacticism Lecture by Suhail Malik

Thursday, Nov 20, 2014
8:00pm -> 10:00pm
Ashkal Alwan

This is a lecture by Suhail Malik, co-director of MFA Goldsmiths London and visiting faculty at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College NY.

It is commonly assumed that education is a good thing, and that adding art to the equation cannot possibly do any harm. But the working premises that shape such intuitions are not always thoroughly explored. Building on previous studies of art education of both formal and informal varieties, Malik will address the potentials of the “didactic” as a working premise, and explore the tempting notion of a better para-academy.
