Abstract/Summary

Susanne Clausen’s Reading International—Propositions for Developing a Collaborative Art Space in the Intersection Between Art School and Community interrogates the possibility of new models of working together by involving artists, students, and communities in order to make the “art school” more site-specific. Clausen relays Gregory Sholette’s notion that these approaches and their formations are key for the construction of varied counter-public spheres to consider what new and emancipatory teaching and self-empowering learning might look like for artists in the university context. She concludes that any construction of the “art school” needs to be more self determined, flexible, and responsive to the local context. This involves the creative sensitivities, voices, and bodies of artists, curators, students, and audiences to share authorship whilst negotiating the overlap of institutional framing
