The Aesthetics of Pedagogy Exhibition

The Aesthetics of Pedagogy Exhibition , featuring the art of 4 th -year Arts Education students of Dr . Valerie Triggs , was open for viewing from May to December 2013 .
Make a Place : Students reinvigorated evidence of previous human interaction in places that held meaningful memories for them . They situated their work within creative movement already underway . Making something sharable contributed new directions and new potentialities to the mix of materials and flows that compose the making of place .
Make a Connection : Considering the aesthetic as the feel of the openness of closed form ( Massumi , 2002 ), students set out to radically remix their compositions of place with those of others . Their collaboration generated new connecting places that recalibrated their senses of what they already knew with the potential generated through inventive experimentation and play .
Make it Happen : Engaging the inquiry already underway , students sought constraints in formal curricula that might augment opportunity for furthering their inquiry . Just at the sensation of openness to self-variation , a boundary is given to the infinity that a place holds , making the world feel inhabitable . Through a practice of making and remaking , each determination of difference is made with an anticipation at the bodily level of degrees of potential for other determinations .
