Description
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes is a book of interviews with artists who teach. I don't mean a definitive collection of interviews or anything, more something that's okay for now, that's adequate. When I began this book I had an idea that teaching was the thing for me. That was about two years ago or about the same time as I asked Michael Craig-Martin whether he'd agree to do an interview with me. I was interested to talk to him because when you teach art the assumption is often made that you know how to teach art and if you don't then you kind of pick it up. Thomas Bayrle, who taught at the Stadelschule for close to 30 years, says: ' ... when I started teaching I quickly found out that I'm not the guy who knows it. All my colleagues were using another method--they knew something--and it was as though they stood there and gave this out to students and I was the only one who was in the wind. The result of this was that the students decided, "OK if he doesn't do it then we have to do it ourselves". But then I discovered that this was actually wonderful because while other professors deliberately tried to make them take such a position, in my class it happened because they thought, "OK he's a kind of yeast-like thing that doesn't have a lot of mass".'
