Olivia Plender : Rise Early, Be Industrious

14 Jul-9 Sep 2012

Overview

Rise Early, Be Industrious offers a series of colourful stage-like sets that invite investigation and playful interaction, whilst focussing on different ideas about education, with special attention to experimental models, their histories and contexts. Drawing on examples such as the educational remit of the BBC, the modern Spiritualist movement in the early 20th century and World's Exhibitions, Olivia Plender is interested in the specific ways in which societies imagine knowledge and its transmission.
