LINES OF FLIGHT: LINES IN REAL TIME

The educational programming for the exhibition Lines of Flight searches for alternative pedagogical practices in the arts in a student-organized podcast, “Lines in Real Time.” The series includes three main episodes, each composed of two halves, “Line” and “Real Time.” In “Line,” the guest-host presents a line of inquiry on one pedagogical method. “Real Time” features the guest-host applying that method to practice. The topics of these episodes are the ethics of display, types of dialogue surrounding art, and audience engagement with works in progress. A supplemental episode examines historical themes in progressive education and pedagogical theory that contextualize the other episodes and consider K–12 audiences.
