80 teachers carefully iron 80 wrinkled shirts unwrinkled

After my performance The Ironing, I vacuumed all the shirts exactly as I wrinkled them in case they could come to use further ahead. And they did. More than ten month later.

In this work 80 teachers was invited to A-venue for four days of performance to iron the wrinkles out again.

When ready, the teacher handed the shirt over to me and I packed it as a probe with a letter that asked the teacher to use the shirt within their practice and after that send it back to me. This whole project is documented in the book 80 Skjortor -Om konst pedagogik relationer.

Could this intra-active co-action lead to constructive and visionary conversations about the oportunities for knowledge production within different educational settings?
