In Letting Art Teach, educational theorist Gert Biesta proposes a radical and poetic rethinking of art education in the 21st century. Rather than framing art as a vehicle for self-expression or technical mastery, Biesta positions teaching itself as an artistic act—one rooted in showing, revealing, and inviting students into a dialogue with the world.
Taking Joseph Beuys’s performance How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare (1965) as a starting point, Biesta explores what it means to teach in a way that is open, responsive, and anchored in the unknown. A compact yet deeply philosophical work, this book is essential reading for artists, educators, curators, and cultural theorists engaged in rethinking the value and purpose of art today.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
