schools & experimentation

"Schools are one of the few places left where experimentation is to some degree encouraged, where emphasis is supposedly on process and learning rather than a product. Schools are also multidisciplinary institutions by nature, where discourse, practice and presentation can co-exist without privileging one over the other."

Anton Vidokle, 'Night School Opening  Remarks, January 2008,' www.newmuseum.org

theory-practice

"Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why."

solitude

Solitude comes in variations.
