Art Basel Conversations: The School Makers

I found this video while looking up the work of artist Tania Bruguera – who can be here seen talking about Cátedra Arte de Conducta (2002-2009), which she founded in Havana. The focus of Bruguera's work in on the intricacies of the relation between art practice and the relationships of power (audience/artist; artist/institution; institution/society) that both surround and constitute it. I believe that the other projects presented in this video, despite being very different from hers, can also be discussed as concerned with those relations. The other speakers are:

- Eduardo Abaroa, Artist and Writer, Co-Founder SOMA, Mexico City;
- Bruce High Quality Foundation, Artists/Foundation, New York;
-Domingo Castillo, Co-Founder of the nomadic artist-run project the end/SPRING BREAK, Miami;
- Piero Golia, Artist and Founder of the Mountain School of Arts, Los Angeles;
- Yoshua Okón, Artist, Co-Founder SOMA, Mexico City.
