Text

The exhibition „A Poem Is Being Written“ inquires into the foundational conditions and the promises that govern an education based on aesthetic inclinations and abilities within the field of art and design. What is actually taught to students of art or design—and how consciously that teaching is done.

How do students deal with the conventions, vocabulary, and unspoken rules they are being exposed to for the first time? What conflicts result when a person’s projections about their own work as an artist, architect, or designer encounter an educational system? And how can conflicts like these be made productive?

Is it possible to identify moments of friction—moments where practice leaves the framework of the institution? Or where it re-uses such frameworks, thus reflecting at the same time upon their nature? Might this process even be understood as the origin of artistic research?
