About Living to Learn:
In concert with Inventory Press and the Teiger Foundation, the ICA at VCU is pleased to be publishing Living to Learn: Art & Education for the Common Good, a multiauthor volume edited by Noah Simblist, VCUarts associate professor of painting and printmaking. Living to Learn presents the work of artists, curators, collectives, and scholars who address contemporary art as a site of learning in the twenty-first century. Building on earlier histories of education as civic service for the common good, it focuses on the last twenty-five years while exploring the future of art education as a practice that unfolds both in and beyond school. The book’s case studies reveal how innovations in education have a dynamic relationship with artistic practice, alternative arts organizations, universities, museums, and biennials. Some questions that the book addresses include: How can alternative organizations and traditional institutions learn from one another? How have exhibition platforms created space for artists to generate learning environments? How have these practices changed assumptions about art institutions and artistic practice? Finally, how can we think about the economic, ecological, and institutional sustainability of all of these practices?
