Social practice and dematerialization are often cited as the most radical innovations in Euro-American contemporary art since the late 1960s, but rarely have historians acknowledged the crucial role of experimental pedagogy in this shift of art towards performance, conceptualism, and activism. The practice of Los Angeles–based performance artist Suzanne Lacy radically extended the ideas of her teachers and mentors Allan Kaprow and Judy Chicago into revised structures of artmaking towards activist social practice performances driven by conceptual, political, and embodied concerns.

Practical Recommendations

Combining educational environment with art has a long tradition within university museums, which are a valuable research resource, responsive to the needs of teaching, research and educational activities. At the same time, today not every school, university or research center has or can afford such museums. The article discusses innovative formats of interaction between educational institutions and artistic practices through public art — contemporary art practice, intended for the unprepared audience and implying the demonstration of art in a public, non-institutional environment. The article reveals the essence of the concept of public art, its evolution from understanding itself as an object to procedural and social practice; indicates the communicative, cultural and symbolic potential of public art in the formation of environments, communities, in the promotion of innovative ideas on the basis of universities or other educational institutions on the example of projects implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow International University, Skolkovo Innovation Center. The conclusions of the article are the practical recommendations for creating public art projects on the territory of modern educational and research centers, based on communicative, site-specific, socially engaged approach.

Personal Context

In this contribution, the author reviews the book, Art as Social Action: An Introduction to the Principles and Practices of Teaching Social Practice Art. Acknowledging the timely nature of this anthology of essays, interviews, and lesson plans, the reviewer strongly recommends the book for teachers of contemporary art. In the review, the author opens with personal context for the review, a brief overview of contents and a description of the editors’ professional backgrounds. Interested in the usefulness of lesson plans for teachers, the reviewer analyzes the over 43 lesson plans and identifies three themes around which to provide a summary. Salient information is also extracted from essays and interviews. The author concludes by commenting more broadly on contributions and challenges associated with this anthology, troubling the use of the term “lesson plan” to describe social practice and calling for widening the conversation to include art educators and qualitative/post-qualitative researchers whose work focuses on social justice pedagogies.

Central Argument

Addressing the latest encounter between feminist politics and art, this article identifies a curatorially driven turn towards social reproduction processes and infrastructures across the contemporary art field. It analyses the curatorial mediation of social practice through two UK-based projects that foreground social and economic justice issues, specifically through the politics and economies of food: Effy Harle and Finbar Prior’s Wandering Womb (2018), commissioned by Manual Labours for Nottingham Contemporary, and WochenKlausur’s Women-led Workers’ Cooperative (2013), initiated through Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts as part of the ECONOMY exhibition project. The central argument is that a rigorous engagement with social reproduction perspectives and theoretical vectors is vital to the analysis and critique of feminist curatorial work within the contemporary art institution.

Social Art

One of the most interesting phenomena in contemporary art is the interpenetration of art and social practice. The artist’s search for new forms of expression and finding himself on the contemporary art market are intertwined with social activism and attempts to contest the existing order. By presenting the variety and ambiguity of activities classified as social art, the authors attempt to interpret them critically. By situating the analysed phenomenon in the context of overcoming social exclusion and social rehabilitation interactions, they also try to determine whether, and if so, to what extent it can enrich the current pedagogical practice. Two questions become key here. One of them is the question of the essence of social art. The second one is to define the significance of including the role of the Artist and Participant of artistic activities in the repertoire of the social roles of the excluded subject to date.
