The Final Score: Students-1; Professor-0 [Elektronski vir]
Zupančič, Tomaž, 1962-
Something unusual happened at the 2005 semestrial students' exhibition at the department of Fine Art - Art Education program - at the University in Maribor. One of the artworks on the exhibition, ...which tried to refer to the late Asiatic tsunami disaster, and was made by a group of students under their professor's mentorship, was demolished by spontaneous art diversion performed by another group of students. Scandal emerged, demands for prosecutions followed. Some of the professors (a minority of us) tried to advocate the spontaneous students' artistic action. This paper starts with a short introduction of both students' artworks involved, presents the students' statement on their art diversion as well as includes a DVD (4 minutes) of the action. What is more, the theoretical bases for support of the students' art diversion are developed. We make use of the event to establish some basic aspects of contemporary art education. The modern and postmodern approaches toward cultural objects are compared, referring to the Scott Lash postmodern "Regime of signification" (1992). Than we refer to the bases of postmodern curriculum, to the ideas of Manfred Blohm (1995). The pedagogical necessity for stimulating spontaneous artistic responding among students is stressed. The simple response to the spontaneous artistic action of the students - to what we, the professors at the department where the event happened were obliged - became a strong advocacy and branched out to a theoretically based lecture which helps students to understand the contemporary art and to become more sensible of their own artistic and educational work.
