Description

'It's your world. What will you change?' It sounds like the heady rhetoric of liberation or collective revolution that harks back to the days of May 68, where anything seemed possible. It is in fact the strapline of an advert for Middlesex University's Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, run in last month's Art Monthly, and it's ironic that it followed directly on from the troubled debate on the state of art education in Britain. It reminds us that higher education has become a business, a business that does not necessarily sell knowledge, but rather the potential experience of individuated, personal transformation, which reduces learning to no more than a set of purchasable access points to the development of a secure, professional career. Such issues are pertinent to the debate on the perceived crisis in art education. As some contributors in last month's letters agree, it is more than simply about money, though money currently tends to be the catalyst through which bigger questions emerge. As Graham Crowley observed in his opening letter (AM315): 'This is not a matter of resourcing, it's a matter of priorities ... Management culture has led to the prioritisation of the administrative over the academic.' So the debate over the future of art education needs to address whether the formation of young artists and the development of art's culture is best served by art education's current location within the mainstream infrastructure of higher education.
