Innovation as a premise of art and design education / Louise Schouwenberg -- (Im)materiality : on the matter of art / Amanda du Preez -- Raw material / Domeniek Ruyters -- The man who made artworks in his head / Aaron Schuster -- The encyclopedic tendency / Tamar Shafrir -- Critical meshing : the interwingled discourses of design and art / Max Bruinsma -- Material utopias : the experimental process as a catalyst for innovation / Louise Schouwenberg.
Summary: In the slipstream of conceptual art, the intimate interweaving of meaning and materialization in art and design came to be discredited in the second half of the twentieth century. The masters program Material Utopias at the Sandberg Instituut put an end to this tradition by abolishing the unproductive hierarchy separating concept and making, content and process. In this publication, various authors reflect on the history of dematerialization and deskilling, the manifold meanings of materials in art and design, and the challenges for education when the innovative power of the artistic process is celebrated.
