SCREAM  64 June 2013:

ArkWork makes an assumption that art and education are more than training for a nihilist future . . .

A small group of us are attempting to use the concept of the ARK as an installation that will promote questioning of values and stimulate expansive thinking that is oppositional to reductive and intellectually controlled expression. It is to be called INSTALLATION ARK and will focus both Visual and Performing Arts, Philosophy and Digital Media students and teachers on to the creation of a major work that aims to be meaningful for participants, audiences and the wider community.
