colourschool is a school within a school dedicated to the speculative research and exploration of five colours: black, white, brown, yellow, and red. Located in a studio at the University of British Columbia, colourschool provides a free and open space for critical inquiry as an alternative to institutional participation in the knowledge economy.
Inspired by the history of experimental education, colourschool draws from the pedagogical precedents of Black Mountain College and Joseph Beuys' Free International University as well as the Colour Research project undertaken by Michael Morris and Vincent Trasov.
colourschool facilitates an open and transdisciplinary approach to colour consciousness in the form of lectures, screenings, colloquia, research, residencies, exhibitions, workshops, and performances. colourschool sessions will take place over the course of one academic year between November 2006 and August 2007.
