I worked with the MA Arts and Education practices students at BCU at the end of March and had a day exploring objects and their status and shifting functions and meanings. (details earlier in blog). We talked throughout the day about the experiences they were having within their own learning and equally if they were involved in teaching then how did they see themselves within that practice where they understood the teaching and the learning simultaneously. They were asked to answer a series of questions based on their own feelings and experiences of being within a learning process. The maps below show the comments that they made to the following questions: What does the learning experience feel like? Does this suggest any particular materials? Does this suggest any particular objects? What is the temperature, tone, feel, weight, noise? These questions are being looked and compared with responses from other groups. The answere start to form the starting points for new objecst and matter condiferarions. this is not simplay about the object - or materails - but the form of the matter. Many responses talk of a fluctuating position which I often refer to - so my on going research is extracting the posibilities of how thoses flucatations can manifext through the work and its encounter.

Kimberley FosterKimberley's practice as an artist is pedagogical, it doesn’t just reference learning, it plays with, embodies and encourages learning at its core. The objects consider ideas of collaboration and authorship, discussions about touch and encounter, and bring into active consideration issues of learning within social and participatory practices.
