Three hours, chewing gum and describing higher education.

I forgot to post about the first batch and now the second batch of  booklets is ready for binding.

from the booklet:

At the beginning of a three hour morning class [at the RCA] I invited 11 individuals to summarise in one sentence their thoughts about higher education. Then, each person got a piece of gum to chew on for the duration the class. This booklet shows the chewing gum in the aftermath of the three hour long chewing with the notes each participant made at the beginning.

I chose chewing gum both because its brief lifespan helps frame the duration of the exercise and as a reference to the importance of ‘using our mouths’ — reflecting on the academic environment we are in.
