ART AND THE APPARATUS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
N|TRO Edition 10, 2017 – Art and Politics: an inescapable bond
http://creativematters.edu.au/?s=Gawthrop
The gradual shift from social democracy to neoliberalism in the west since the 1980s has significantly affected the apparatus of higher education. University and college heads have shifted their priorities from developing knowledge through education and research for social benefit, to increasing the wealth of the institution (and their own salaries) through competing for student numbers and positions in league tables.
Art and the art world have developed considerably over this period, with interdisciplinarity and socially engaged practices becoming commonplace but such developments have hardly been reflected in the art schools. So, in uncertain times, what could an art school offer and what pedagogies should operate? In order to attempt to answer this question it is necessary to consider the history and politics around didactic and heuristic pedagogies and to explore how sustained periods of self-directed practical enquiry can be reconciled with the need to learn theories, methodologies, professional development and modes of practice.
