The practice provocation is to bring new material points of entry into a dialogue with collections and exhibits, and to extend from the museums knowledge frameworks. Held in our hands, the matter, form, and weight of these Pedagogical Art Objects can interrupt habitual perception and present challenges to established institutional knowledge hierarchies. How can this material approach, tethered to a specifically tuned art object, engage subjective voices, extend, and disrupt the experience of encountering artworks within the art museum.
Handling Pedagogical Art Objects in close proximity to exhibits activates differently, introducing a reach-ability; a reach towards new, personalised, and autobiographical encounters, where participants’ intentions provide a conscious projective force through which subjective ontologies connect and enmesh.
