Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art
Early Learning First Workshop (2017)

Early Learning Curated by Mhari McMullan & Katy West

Early Learning explored the legacies of the Kindergarten educational method through unique commissions from a group of artists, designers and their young children.

Each of the commissioned artists' practices reflected processes relating to Friedrich Frobel's 20 'gifts and occupations' - play materials for young children ranging from building blocks to modelling clay, designed for the original Kindergarten. In exploring these processes with their own children, the artists presented new possibilities and variations of the original system.
