Rancière: history and the art system

Someone I know is trying to track down a copy of the interview that Ranciére did with Yan Ciret of Art Press called "History and the Art System". Art Press doesn't have it available. Has anybody that made a version available anywhere?

 

Cheers,

URGENT PETITION TO KEEP UEL OPEN DURING G20 SUMMIT

Apologies for cross-posting (I mean it this time)

 

http://www.petitiononline.com/openUEL/

 

Dear friends

 

the University of East London (UEL) was supposed to host an alternative summit on April 1st in the context of the upcoming G20 meeting on April 2nd. Following the media and police hype about possible disruptions to the city, the University withdrew its support for the alternative summit.  

 

Subsequently, management of the University decided to close down the university all together on April the 1st and 2nd, cancelling lectures and closing the library, effectively trying to turn the university into a wasteland in the very moment when the university should instead be up to the task of hosting critical debate and be a hub of creative energies. 

 

As the text of the petition makes clear, this is not just about UEL, but about reclaiming universities and education in these times of crisis. 

 

PLEASE FORWARD  WIDELY -- PLEASE SIGN URGENTLY. 

 

 

 

Open UEL now collective
