#QUESTIONING #ART_DEBATE

Vincent Desiderio is a visual intellectual who questions neo-conservative educational agendas and the way methods are instilled, void of objectives and meaning. What’s the point of learning, to subsequently unlearn?

Vincent suggests that the only valid knowledge for an artist is that which has meaning. The ideal sherpa.

Mindset — This quarantine will be neither easy nor comfortable, but it will be real. We do not recommend it if you depend on the security of a method or a school that you can adhere to, or if you’re simply not ready to question them.

Technical requirements — Basic oil painting skills.

Requirements

Be ready to unlearn ideas and question your education.
Expect to be pushed out of your comfort zone.
Accept the fact that no skill equips you to be an artist.

Vincent Desiderio will encourage you to make your own decisions, not those of your teachers.

The goal of this Quarantine is to transform the way you make decisions, while you unlearn the ideas that are limiting you as an artist.

Vincent Desiderio wants to renew the pedagogic agenda of Art to endow it with a purpose that goes beyond the mere acquisition of skills. So here you will meet diverse individuals, discuss Art with them and question your ideas.

In addition, you will get a clearer understanding of the historical origins and precedents of your aspirations as an artist who projects her or his exploration confined by the expectations of a contemporary historical context.
