The Blanton presents Subject of Learning/Object of Study, the next installation in the museum’s WorkSpace series of contemporary art. Conceived by Brooklyn-based artist Anna Craycroft, the installation will transform the Blanton’s WorkSpace gallery and adjoining e-lounge into educational spaces complete with colorful sliding chalkboards, modular furniture, pedagogical computer displays, a library of educational books, and other elements designed by the artist to create a “classroom” setting. Craycroft's work explores “how various definitions of the 'individual' prescribe the structure of our institutions, and conversely, how the mechanics of an institution inscribe the persons within.” Subject of Learning/Object of Study is the first in a series of projects created as part of The Union of Initiatives for Educational Assembly, a rubric through which Craycroft adopts educational systems into the production of her artwork. The exhibition at the Blanton highlights how the museum, itself, can be a tool for teaching.
The spaces will be filled with objects designed and modeled after tools developed by educational philosophers Maria Montessori and Friedrich Frobel. While the classrooms themselves become the artwork, the spaces will be activated by a series of public programs developed by the artist and her colleagues and collaborators, including a computer program designed by ExCorporation.
