As part of my increasing interest in the ( anti ) aesthetics of institutional  forms and rhetoric I will be giving a paper at the this year's ELIA conference in Porto in June.

The Paper is Entitled, 'In the Age of Extreme Institutionalization and Hyper-instrumentalisation of the Art School; How is it Possible for Artists/Teacher/Student Relationships to Flourish?'

The Teachers’ Academy 2012, ‘INTER-ACT', focuses on the challenges and developments currently facing lecturers in art schools, particularly in relation to the increasingly fluid boundaries between disciplines and modalities. 

As a result of this increasing cross-pollination in the arts field and arts education, new relationships and interactions are rapidly manifesting.
