What Are We Up Against and What Are the Possibilities?

What if the aim of art education is not just to educate, or to develop, or to intervene in one way or another, but to act in such a way that one is conscious both of the factors that work against such education and that underpin a situation, and of possibilities of action with a long term effect. How can we start something that will be able to live a life of its own?

She has recently completed the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York and will be presenting chapter II of ‘White Paper’, a project based on the analysis of the changing face of legislation in relationship to private ownership, at Casco (Office for Design Art and Theory), in the spring of 2015.
