Lecture and discussion: Annette Hasselbeck "Artists' books as a medium in art lessons".
In both artistic and didactic practice, the artist's book moves between its use as an intimate space for reflection and its design as an open place of presentation.
Artists use books both for their own use, when they want to fix unfinished, provisional and ideas, but also produce books as exhibition objects.
Teachers encourage students to keep learning diaries and have creatively designed portfolios or lapbooks made as an alternative performance task.
What do the books show? How are the spaces that books can create designed and used by artists and art students? How are artistic or creative book practices currently used in schools? And what potential do they hold?
The lecture will present examples from art and teaching that can be used to illustrate artistic and didactic potential. The focus will be on artistic book practices that do not reduce books to design material, but know how to use the book specifically as a medium to produce artistic exploration spaces and alternative display spaces.
