Faculty & Network
The contents and programme of the KinderKunstLabor for Contemporary Art should always be capable to grow and evolve in response to changing requirements, framework conditions, and concerns of children and in society. The advisory board that backs these processes is comprised of high-profile experts from the sciences and arts with experience in the fields of curating, education, and research. The internationally renowned expert Dr. Emily Pringle, researcher and consultant in museum and art education and until 2022 Head of Learning Practice and Research at Tate London, has been advising our team in regular workshops since 2023. The non-profit EDUCULT – Institute of Cultural Policy and Cultural Management accompanies the institutional development of the KinderKunstLabor.
Other activities and formats include the analysis and exchange of archival materials and documentation of artistic projects and exhibitions or of empirical-qualitative research approaches, for example in connection with arts-based research, conferences, online and print publications, workshops, and advanced qualification courses.
The aim of the research activities is to reframe our curation and art education approaches with a focus on the following objectives:
- linking practice and theory
- enhancing the children’s sense of belonging to an art institution and their right to participate as cultural citizens
- non-verbal/physical aesthetic experience
- reciprocities and relationships
