A Physical Study of The Education of Art
Short film and video-performance by Pedram Baldari 2015, Walker Art Museum 2019
Christina Schmid’s description of the film.
“Inside the Walker, a short video by Baldari, A Physical Study of the Education of Art (2015), offers the most pointed criticism of the night: as a man drags a woman across the floor by her feet, she writes the phrase “I am the artist” in carefully executed white brush strokes, before, in one final pull, her brush erases the entire sentence. How do artists come to be? By being pushed and pulled? Or, does education happen entirely differently?”
