About this episode

Anton Vidokle is one of many artists who recognize the educational potential of art, but his productions usually do not manifest themselves in the form of traditional art objects. In the place of sculpture or painting, Vidokle creates work in the shape of social forms familiar to us – such as libraries, schools, and public conversations. Anton Vidokle was born in Moscow and arrived in the United States in 1981. He is currently based in New York and Berlin. Vidokle operates these projects with a large group of collaborators, including Julieta Aranda, Boris Groys, Liam Gillick, Martha Rosler, Walid Raad, Nikolaus Hirsch, Brian Kuan Wood, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Hila Peleg, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Jan Verwoert. Presented in collaboration with A.S.A.P. - The Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present. http://www.knoxart.org/exhibitions/vidokle/
