Lehre der Leerkunst. Hommage à Robert Filliou

Abstract

Lecture given on the occasion of the symposium "The Art of Art Teaching" on teaching composition as a major artistic subject (Basel, April 2024). The text of the lecture was written by my own students under the condition of a collective writing experiment. They received a blank document and Robert Filliou's book "Teaching and Learning as Performance Art" (1970). According to Filliou's book, which leaves a lot of blank space for the readers to enter their own thoughts and comments, a dense document of contributions by the students, some independent, some in dialogue with Filliou, was created and simply read and shown by me at the symposium almost without any editorial cuts. Some inserted media may be accessed by clicking on them.
