Shedding light on reality – Study project on visual communication
The nGbK working group on art academy teaching published this reader in 1977 with the aim of exploring, questioning and, ideally, changing the way art and design are taught at art academies. The materials in the book—results of new research and existing texts and articles—examine the turn to social problems and their communication via the medium of artistic representation. Specific projects reflect the political context and conditions under which the results were produced. The book criticizes the fact that many activities go undocumented by students or staff, with sketches and preliminary designs often discarded, and there is also criticism of the insufficient scope for follow-up work and research. 

Ed.: nGbK
