The Public School at TELIC.
12 Mar 2008
On January 25th, while artLA was working on its rebirth, TELIC launched The Public School on this busy night in Chinatown.
From the press release:
__The Public School is a school with no curriculum, located underneath TELIC Arts Exchange. It operates as follows: first, classes are proposed by the public (I want to learn this or I want to teach that); then, people have the opportunity to sign up for the classes (I also want to learn that); finally, when enough people have expressed interest, the school will find a teacher and offer the class to those who signed up.
Although I was there for the launch, musing around the proposed classes forms - sex applications, learning a new language or how to knit - it was at first difficult for me not to smile at all of this, I haven’t engaged in any classes yet. But, I am pretty excited about this proposed series, Walter Benjamin: The Arcades Project it doesn’t have a set date yet and still needs a teacher. If you are interested to help direct this reading, contact TELIC.
The next class, Ranciere: The Politics of Aesthetics (and/as an Ethics) will take place on Sunday March 16th from 11am to 1pm, for $25, and you can still sign up to participate.
