Stop the Chaos, Turn the page is an exhibition about education and the rise of the alternative art school. This is the second of three exhibitions from Division of Labour centred on education, the first exhibition was entitled Education, Education, Education which took place in Bethnal Green in 2017, the exhibition featured Simon & Tom Bloor, Matthew Cornford, Fay Nicolson, Hassan Sharif. This exhibition is a continuation, working with artists with an interest in art education in whose work is embedded in the ideas of learning and pedagogy. What happens if we look to art schools as cultural centres of communities? Is protest and activism missing from art education? How has art education been canonised, what are the histories that make up the UK model? Why are students looking for independent alternatives?
