El. knyga: Mary Kelly's Concentric Pedagogy: Selected Writings

A significant collection of essays, archival materials, and artist conversations that offers considerable insight into the celebrated teaching methodologies of Mary Kelly. An instruction manual for how to approach, look, think, parse, and speak about art and exhibitions. * Glenn R. Phillips, Senior Curator, Head of Exhibitions, Getty Research Institute, USA * Kellys writings speak to the most urgent concerns in the field today: the systems of art, the solicitation of the art-encounter, and how to attend with rigour to the artwork as a political agent in times of global crisis. This is an important, timely and necessary book. * Natalie Loveless, Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory, University of Alberta, USA * Mary Kelly is one of our great pedagogues. We have been using her concentric pedagogy since 1997, in the knowledge that it creates the artistic awareness necessary to transform students into artists. Finally, her collected writings on pedagogy is here. * Gertrud Sandqvist, Professor, Malmö Art Academy, Lund University, Sweden * Modelling the interconnections between teaching and artmaking, this book provides an in depth look at how Kellys method and project brought feminism and psychoanalysis from first generation conceptualism to the classroom, and includes course materials, projects, and contributions by former students. It will be a valuable resource for artists and educators alike. * Ken Gonzales-Day, Fletcher Jones Endowed Chair in Art and Professor of Art, Scripps College, USA * Serves as a potent affirmation for artist educators seeking to activate mutually dynamic relationships between an artworks material particularities and broader worlds of perception, fiction, consumption, exploitation and production. * Sean Lowry, Head of Critical and Theoretical Studies, Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, Australia * Finally, Mary Kelly's tremendously influential pedagogy is available beyond the circle of students and colleagues who have been lucky enough to work with her. This book will be an essential resource for everyone who cares about the ethics of engaging with art. * Andrea Fraser, Practising Artist and Professor of Interdisciplinary Studio, UCLA School of Arts and Architecture, USA *
