Description:
“When Bucky (Buckminster Fuller) put up his first dome there (at Black Mountain College), and it immediately collapsed, and instead of being unhappy, he was delighted. He said, I only learn when I have failures. And it reminded me of my father who was an inventor, who also said what Bucky said...that he welcomed failure because that way he was led to his discoveries” (John Cage)
So, let’s talk about passing knowledge. Again. Academies everywhere. Education is the word of the year – not only for politicians and journalists, but as well for arts and activism. It will be one of the major aspects of next documenta, it is the field where you get any money you want from federal foundations. But at the same time, passing knowledge is indeed the most crucial topics. So, let’s talk about passing knowledge.
Informal talks and discussions with:
Jacques Ranciere gives a lecture about the “Ignorant Schoolmaster” (on video) , Marten Spangberg introduces the concept of the International Summeracademy in Frankfurt. Susan Kelly (Interface, School of Art and Design, Belfast, Northern Ireland) develops the new Masters Programme "Art and Public”. Tom Lamberty knows how the Siemens Management Learning works. Florian Schneider talks about Boderline Academy and Open Source as system of knowledge distribution. Unfriendly Takeover sees lecture performance as a way of distributing knowledge between theory and art. And Pirate Cinema believe, that the "knowledge societies" are societies in which everything you ever knew has become someone else's property.
Everybody is invited to bring own ideas, projects, concepts!
