A formação do artista

The education of the artist designates here a particular conceptual space and way of referencing.Thus it is not concerned, at first instance, with the process through which someone becomes an artist, neither with the issues related to the art schools.It is a deterritorialisation plane in between Art Education and artistic practices, a way of getting bound to these sites in order to confront them, by means of especially two concepts: differentiation and desubjectivation.It raises this way the following questions: What art does the Art Education refer to?What education does the artistic practices refer to?The same way it questions an intermediate territory in relation to these two sites; the educational mediation of art.Some shifters are proposed as tools that enable us to assess and reframe how each of these sites conceives and operates relations between art and education.So the Art Education will have been differentiated by the education within art, the educational mediation of art by the contemporary mediation of art, the artistic practices by the "educational" art.These manoeuvres are ignited by specif planes of reference and currentness: the Art Savoir, the "norm" of the commonanonymous, the strength of non-governability.They testify the tone of what stalks "unappropriated passions".This is their aesthetic-political way of attacking.The education of the artist is then conceived as the clearing in which, without any accommodation, the conjunctions and disjunctions between art and education are made alike.As the thesis proposes, both the argument generally held by the Art Education that "you can teach art" and the argument generally held by the artistic practices that "you can't teach art" are conceptually insufficient, because this way both only plead for their own cause.CAD!EF?G7B art, education, politics, differentiation, desubjectivation
