Exercising Study
An article on the work of Rhona Byrne and Elaine Leader.
In: Jennie Guy (ed.), Curriculum, Bristol (UK): Intellect, 2020
"Curriculum surveys a broad range of practices that share an interest in how the conventions of learning, as typically encountered in schools, might be extended or reimagined. At the heart of Curriculum is Art School, an independent curatorial framework founded by Jennie Guy in 2014. Operating throughout Ireland, Art School establishes interfaces between contemporary art and schools as sites of education, inviting students and artists to work collaboratively. It takes place as a series of workshops, residencies, exhibitions and new writing that explore how contemporary artists can intervene within systems of education in order to inspire and expand, fracture and revise."
