Since October 2010 we have been researching, developing, acting upon and disseminating strategies for free education by attempting to study without enrolling at university. Working collectively with a number of artists with whom we share a sensibility linked closely to critical artistic practice, socio-political accountability and intellectual development, we are organising and contributing to a busy schedule of talks, reading modules, exhibitions and one-off events.
This process has been brought about through a number of both personal and collective political, financial and ideological motivations. Our activity is an act of resistance, a support structure and a platform for learning, collaboration, debate and action. Through our activity we acknowledge, respond to or contribute to discussion surrounding the wider economic context, the education system and the networks and models specific to contemporary art.
We are working through a combination of methodologies which are developing, evaluating and publishing for further examination, appropriation and development by others, including the potentials of:
- self-initiation
- accessing what is freely available
- gate-crashing
- collaboration
