Institute of Education, London, UK
An installation located in the Institute of Education, London. The work combined children's paintings of contemporary educational theory and resources from an early years classroom re-contextualised within a modernist gallery space. The displayed texts explaining the work to the students and professors were written 'phonetically plausible', making them tricky to decode.
