We, the viewers, are invited to learn about eight very different structures and forms of organization and their respective attempts at building frameworks in which artists come together to learn. While respecting the differences of their individual forms, their aims, their locations, their struggles, and their contexts, we can say that “The Educational Web” creates a map of alternative art schools. The curatorial approach of the exhibition consists of giving each educational organization the freedom to develop their own presentation.
