“But so-called real life, where we are subject to an endless variety of improvisations, suggestions, confusions, and catastrophes, is also finally without any rules. Ultimately, teaching art means teaching life.” –Boris Groys “Education by Infection” in MADOFF, S.H., ed., 2009. ART SCHOOL (propositions for the 21st Century)

I noted the quote the other day and also saw the sign above the door of the room where we were marking resits (also the location of my MA show) and I just thought it somehow appropriate.
