This new project by John Reardon in collaboration with Johannes Maier and Sabine Hagmann begins with Phase I The Art School Phase at Cell Project Space London, from April 6th - 25th 2010, and continues during Phase II The Reflection and Publication Phase, with events in the Whitechapel Gallery and Tate Britain in October, 2010.
artschool uk is supported by an extensive network of artists, curators, critics, galleries, architects and designers, who support or have agreed to participate directly in the project. Phase I is a three-week long event-based project, which offers participants the opportunity to explore their ideas and work through three weeks of critically engaged group and individual teaching, workshops, presentations and reading groups. A team of dedicated teachers will work with participants each day of the three weeks and while some parts of the project will include an invited public, the main focus of Phase I is on participants, their individual work and development. Phase II begins six months after Phase I and focuses on the publication and dissemination of the project with particular emphasis on work produced by participants during the intervening period or period of reflection between Phase I and II.
