    More participation through rationale cultural mediation – Mehr kulturelle Teilhabe durch rationale Kulturvermittlung (publication in German)

    Wanda Wieczorek with a contribution by Markus Rieger-Ladich (2018).

    Art and culture are there for every one. However, offers in this domain only reach a segregated group of people. Why is this so? And how can we try to change this?

    The publication tries to address these questions. On the basis of a practice-oriented project conducted in the field from which the difficulties of a participation and a contribution in the decision-making process clearly emerged, it asks for a »rationale« art education and cultureal mediation – free from any idealizations and close to reality and practice with an open gaze for its limitations and possibilities.

    The theoretical grounding for these considerations is provided within education science by Markus Rieger-Ladich. In his contribution he shows how pertinent the concepts by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu are for the understanding and discussion of participatory processes.

  • »Representing Art Education / Kunstvermittlung zeigen«

    On the Representation of Pedagogical Work in the Art Field

    Carmen Mörsch / Sigrid Schade / Sophie Vögele (Dec. 2017)

    What is possibly displayed, revealed or produced when art education is pictured through documentation, notification, announcement, and art work? This anthology introduces new perspectives of art education to the field of Visual Studies by applying a critique of representation and expanding critical analyses. It encourages multiple ways of interrupting dominant modes of representing.

  • »Contemporary Curating and Museum Education«

    Carmen Mörsch / Angeli Sachs / Thomas Sieber
    How is work at museums altered when practices of display, exhibition and mediation are considered to be a conceptually integrated part of the museum?

Each chapter of analysis is completed by a resuming list of the most pertinent findings that are also summarized in the conclusions. The final chapter 10 provides an array of fields of action identified during the process of research and analysis.

    The partnering art schools have each written a statement to the final report at the attention of the SERI (statements by the HEAD – Genève, the HEM Genève-Neuchâtel and the ZHdK). The International Advisory Board of Art.School.Differences has responded to them by a meta-statement.

A glossary, a resource pool of additional texts and material and around 40 perspectives of practitioners and stakeholders from the Swiss cultural field accomplish the main texts.
