‘Our Daily Work is Research’: A Journey From Studio to Lecture Hall
This talk offers reflections gleaned from twenty years of working in education from a position shared between the artist’s studio, the museum’s education program, university research and teaching art history. It's a journey that bears witness to the importance of mentorship and to the often-elusive balance between the study of art in history and the making of artworks.
I'd like to account for my experience of the political realities of education in the institutions of art history in Canada (the museum, the university) by thinking through what it means to embrace and defend the idea of the diversity of learning and interpretive experiences so often defended by contemporary art practice and theory. In doing so, I'd like to touch on the unique opportunity afforded by working on a Quebec/Canadian body of work, namely caricature and graphic satire, in the context of teaching art history and thinking about individual and collective identities.
