Join us for the opening reception of Pedagogical Factory: Exploring Strategies for an Educated City. From July 22 to September 23, 2007, the Stockyard Institute will initiate an interactive exhibition using the Hyde Park Art Center as a site to critically explore the intersection between art, education, and the city. Working with other artists, collaboratives, and groups, such as The Center for Urban Pedagogy (New York), rum46 (Denmark), Think Tank (Philadelphia), Artlink (UK), and AREA Chicago Art, Research, Education & Activism (Chicago), to name a few, the Stockyard Institute will transform the gallery space into a temporary factory that will design and implement an extensive series of programs and events throughout the two month project. The exhibit will feature works and proposals by: Josh MacPhee, Dave Pabellon/Daniel Tucker of AREA Chicago, Center for Urban Pedagogy (Brooklyn), Counter Cartography Collective (Chapel Hill), Temporary Services, Neighborhood Writing Alliance, Renee Dryg (NYC), Angela Tillges / Redmoon Theater, Anne Elizabeth Moore, Stockyard Institute, Jess Seay / Experimental Sound Studio, Think Tank (Philadelphia), Shaping San Fransisco, Watie White and more.
