Magdalena Nordin (SE)
Uppfostran genom konsten
6-29/9 2019

Curator Madelaine Sillfors


After harbouring a feeling, for quite some time, of whitnessing the slow death of Art and with the help of Education through Art, Nordin tries to rephrase the meaning of art, for herself and for the world.

Education through Art, written by Herbert Read, was first published 1943. It works as a sort of handbook on how to democratically foster the citizens by inspiring them to make art. Herbert Read was an anarchist and his texts derives from the modernist idea to use art as a liberating force for mankind. The aim and objective - a democratic revolution.
