ONE AND THREE IDEAS*:

Artist Educators in Action and Practice

Date: 26 August 2023, Saturday,

Time: 10.30 am – 7.00 pm

Venue: KNMA Saket

This gathering of artist-educators will bring together artistic practices that lie at the intersection of experimental pedagogy, community engagement and re-visioning of ideas of access, resources and tools developed by artists for arts education; and practices that are creatively filling in for the infrastructural, social and ecological gaps that alienate specific communities and groups from access to education and learning.

This one-day gathering of artist educators is organised as part of the programming around ‘Very Small Feelings’ exhibition co-curated by Akansha Rastogi and Diana Campbell.

*The title ‘One and Three Ideas’ is inspired from the Terry Smith’s essay ‘One and Three Ideas: Conceptualism Before, During, and After Conceptual Art’ (2011) which is titled after Joseph Kosuth’s work ‘One and Three Chairs’ (1965).
