This publication presents and documents 26 years of artistic teaching and research at the Textiles Department of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It provides insight into the diversity of cultural techniques and fields of textile production, into the spaces of reflection in the context of teaching art and into the diversity of practices that artists contribute as teachers.
The contributions show how artistic working methods in an educational context inspire and rethink didactic practices. The focus is on the following questions: How can teaching "from art" be understood, and what potential does teaching "from art" open up for educational processes? These potentials can be seen from best-practice examples.
