The Teacher: Charles Arsène-Henry, Peter Carl, Oscar Guardiola-Rivera & Samantha Hardingham
The anxieties of what to teach, and how to learn, crystallise in the figure of ‘The Teacher’. Knowledge repository? Institutional symbol? Heroic outlaw? Guests present pedagogue paradigms, including those of architect Cedric Price, philosophers Plato and Gilles Deleuze, and film director/shaman, Alejandro Jodorowsky. Each example invokes its own iconoclasm of teaching.
Charles Arsène-Henry founded White Box Black Box in 2009 and co-curated the exhibition Translated By in 2011. He teaches ‘Shapes of Fiction’ at the AA and is conceiving The Library is on Fire with the Luma Foundation.
Peter Carl directs the PhD programme at the Department of Architecture and Spatial Design, London Metropolitan University.
Oscar Guardiola-Rivera is a senior lecturer in law at Birkbeck, University of London and author of What If Latin America Ruled the World? His forthcoming book is entitled A Story of a Death Foretold: The Coup Against Allende, 9/11/1973.
Samantha Hardingham is an architectural author and researcher. She is currently writing The Complete Works of Cedric Price – an assembly of both projects and texts – in collaboration with the Cedric Price Estate, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal and the Architectural Association.
