REVISED TEACHING NOTES
or
REMEMBER, I'M GOING TO MARK YOU.
Where do we go after art school? Having finally been severed from the umbilical support structures that have maintained us for a matter of years, how do we confront that myth of "the real world"? Do we collapse into saleability or take refuge in our own personal universes, finally free from institutionalised criticism or cross-examination?
"Remember I'm Going to Mark You" showcases new work of around 20 of the UK's most exciting new graduates, each piece made as a direct response to the text "Revised Teaching Notes with Apologies to Paul Thek" penned and appropriated by Frieze sub-editor and Hayward Gallery curator Tom Morton.
Our proposal is to treat Morton's text as a literal brief submitted to new graduates as their first post-graduate assignment, consciously electing to continue the art school format beyond the natural course of its existence. Simultaneously making the transition from practising artist-students into practising artists slightly less dizzying whilst questioning our own dependence upon scholastic structure and the legacythis model of thinking will perpetuate throughout all of the exhibiting artists future careers and midsets. How has the art school system shaped our minds? How does this differ now from the 1970s? Who is it who determines the characteristics of these systems?
