Anyone who asked me between 2008-2013 what type of art I make, heard me say that I consider my teaching practice to be a series of installation pieces. I would create environments for people, big and small, to engage with materials, with each other, with the world -- observe this, document this, and make it available to others for response. Teaching as art made sense to me.
This weekend, I wondered if there were others out there like me; people who blur the lines between artistic practice and teaching practice. Here are a few folks I came across, who probably understand:
