Art, Critical Pedagogy and Capitalism

This book offers a re-examination of art production in terms that understand the process of learning as the production of art itself. It constitutes a radical rethinking of art making, and an attempt to address the paradox between the proliferation of the commodity of learning and the perceived crisis of arts education.

Paul Stewart is an Artist and Curator as well as a Lecturer in Fine Art at Teesside University, UK.
