In Postmodern Dilemmas: Outrageous Essays in Art&Art Education
and Pun(k) Deconstruction: Experimental Writings in Art&Art
Education, jan jagodzinski presents a series of essays covering a
timespan of approximately ten years. These essays chart the theory
and practice of art&art education as it relates to issues of
postmodernity and poststructuralism concerning representation,
identity politics, consumerism, postmodern architecture, ecology,
phallocentrism of the artistic canon, pluriculturalism, media and
technology, and AIDS.
As a former editor of The Journal of Social Theory in Art
Education and a founding member for the Caucus on Social Theory in
Art Education, the author attempts to deconstruct the current art
education paradigm, which is largely based on modernist tenets, and
to reorient art education practice to social issues as developed in
both media education and cultural studies. Part of the intent in
these two volumes is to undertake a sustained critique of the 1982
Art in the Mainstream (A.I.M.) statement, which continues to be
considered as the core value for art education. The distinct
intention of this critique is to put forward a new value base for
art&art education in these postmodern times.
Many of the essays raise the need to be attentive to sex/gender
issues in art&art education and the need to read the artistic
discourse "otherwise." There is a sustained critique of the art
programs developed by the Getty Center for the Arts, whose arts
curriculum presents the paradigm case of late modernist thinking.
Some essays are written in a provocative form that tries to
accommodate such content. This is particularly the case in Pun(k)
Deconstruction, where architectural discourse is deconstructed, and
which includes an "artistic performance" given by the author in
1987.
This singular set of volumes combines scholarship in the areas of
gender studies, aesthetics, art history, art education,
poststructuralism, and cultural studies in a unique blend of theory
and practice for rethinking the field of art education.
