Welcome to "Studies in Kunstvakidiotie". Here, you can browse through the photographs, essays, drawings, audio and video clips. ‘Studies in kunstvakidiotie’ is the doctoral research of Mirjam van Tilburg at Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA). This is a study in arts education from within the arts. She tries to shift the dominant image of life-long-learning (LLL) and provide insight into the possibilities that this LLL space also provides to art teachers. By searching in this way, more and more became clear about life-long-learning of art teachers. Therefore, a linear cause-and-effect narrative did not seem to do justice to the subject matter. The term ‘studies’ in the title is sketchy — it also involves repetition and seeking connections and, above all, it is a derivative of studio and study.
Five essays form the markers within ‘Studies in Kunstvakidiotie’. Together, they construct a narrative. The essay ‘(onder)zoek in kunsteducatie’ describes practices and values that stem from Mirjam van Tilburg’s artistic practice: education. The motivation behind this research is that art teachers find LLL events to be limited. The essay ‘LLO als commoning practice’ discusses the possibilities of commoning practices. The examples: The New School Collective and studios are outlined herein. The studios are the experiment within this doctoral research. During the winter of 2020-2021, Mirjam van Tilburg worked with ten art teachers. The experiment of this doctoral project coincided with the Covid-19 crisis. Together they occupied artist studios in Tilburg and Rotterdam to de-automate and look at teaching practices.
The essays ‘Blik’ and ‘Tijd’ therefore propose two topics of conversation within LLL: the ‘aesthetic glance’ and the temporal experience of ‘interruption’. These essays question the efficient and productive order prevailing in the work environment and LLL of art teachers.
The essay ‘Herontdekking van Kunstvakidiotie’ is the story of a change in the craft of art teachers in the first Covid-19 crisis year. The term ‘kunstvakidiotie’ in the title cannot be directly translated into English because it is a compound word and may have specific connotations in the Dutch context. The essay describes how in these studios, art subject teachers had one foothold: artistic fervour.
When gathering - and singing - is no longer safe

The human voice is vital to the creation of rituals around important and existential life events: to celebrate, to mourn, to commemorate, to protest. Speeches, chants, singing, intoning, shouting are all used to mark these events. What happens when the voice itself is dangerous, instead of healing? How do we engage in ritual and vocal expression? This explores the actions and sounding strategies taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Oslo, spring 2020.

Korona viruset som brøt ut i Norge i begynnelsen av 2020 har ført til nye forutsetninger en må ta hensyn til. Dette inkluderer avstand, vaske hender, og for mange å jobbe hjemmefra. Problemet er at dette kan føre til nedsatt psykisk helse, forårsaket av blant annet ensomhet.
For å hindre dette ønskes det løsninger som kan forebygge mot ensomhet; med andre ord en løsning som kan skape et godt sosialt miljø, selv hjemmefra. Dette kan igjen føre til et bedre arbeidsmiljø selv om en ikke lengre møtes på kontoret.

Korona-viruset har skapt helt nye forutsetninger som påvirker hverdagen til alle. Blant annet innebærer dette for mange at arbeidsplassen flytter seg fra et felles kontor, til hjemmekontor. For å forebygge mot nedsatt psykisk helse som kan for eksempel komme av ensomhet, og for å fortsette å opprettholde, og muligens forbedre arbeidsmiljøet ønskes det mulige løsninger til hvordan vi kan sikre et godt arbeidsmiljø, selv hjemmefra.

The pandemic has dragged us all into a world of social distancing and isolation. The physical absence of art is substituted by the virtual experience online. The mass-reproduction and mass-consumption of online images arrived at an unprecedented scale, which requires us to reflect on the question of originality, adaptability and dissemination of art. Many museums launched their online touring programs as well as art organizations' educational and exhibition projects on the internet. This research will discuss the impact of digital art especially in the time of the pandemic.
