"Substitute Teacher" Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Georgia

March 5 - May 16, 2010

What is a substitute teacher? Typically, it is a person who fills in for the regular teacher when he or she is unavailable because of illness or vacation or other personal reasons. For our purposes, a substitute teacher is any being, situation, or object that has the potential to impart knowledge.

The exhibition and its related public programs act as an alternative syllabus for art-life learning. The installed artworks, the participating artists, the curators, the exhibition, and the institution can all be considered "substitute teachers" that encourage visitors to assess and challenge their own wealth of knowledge while embarking on new journeys of discovery.
