PROSPECTUS is an experimental exhibition exploring the practices of radical art education and exhibition as an educational technology. www.prospectusexhibition.org

PROSPECTUS traces the birth of twins; the 1837 public art school, and exhibition making as an educational practice. And their subsequent development; the professionalisation of the 1900, political upheavals in the 1960’s, the over administration in the 1990’s, privatisation in the 2010’s, and on into their possible futures. PROSPECTUS will include rarely seen, primary materials from the first Government School of Design, Pontus Hulten’s Institut des Hautes Etudes en Arts Plastiques, remnants from the Inner London Education Authority’s teaching collection, documents from the The Fresno Feminist Experiment lead by Judy Chicago, a Life Drawing class, revisit The Devil’s Feast through archival material held in the Special Collection at Chelsea College of Art and Design, and much else besides.

PROSPECTUS will feature specially commissioned artworks, an evolving exhibitionary architecture, participatory archival research, a teaching collection, screenings, life drawing classes, and a diverse public programme of talks, performances, discussions and walks. Participants include Viktor Timofeev, Sam Griffin, Dr Malcolm Quinn, Celine Condorelli, Redmond Entwistle, Dr Linda Sandino, Lawrence Lek, Prof. Stephen Farthing, Matthew Cornford and John Beck, Dave Beech, Naomi Salaman, Fay Nicolson, Delphine Bedel and many others.
