Unlearning Exercises: Art Organizations as Sites for Unlearning
published by Binna Choi, Annette Krauss, Yolande van der Heide, Liz Allan, Valiz/Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons, 2018
Introduction by Anette Krauss and Yolande van der Heide in conversation with Stephanie Misa.
Learning is often progress-oriented, institutionally driven, and focused on the accumulation of knowledge, skills, and behavior. In contrast, unlearning is directed toward embodied forms of knowledge and the (un)conscious operation of ways of thinking and doing. Unlearning denotes an active critical investigation of normative structures and practices in order to become aware and get rid of taken-for-granted “truths” of theory and practice. This book shares the process of unlearning, taking art and art institutions as sites for unlearning and Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons as an experimental case.
