In this publication, various authors reflect on the history of dematerialization and deskilling, the manifold meanings of materials in art and
design, and the challenges for
education when the innovative power of the artistic process is celebrated.
In the slipstream of conceptual art, the intimate interweaving of meaning and materialization in art and design came to be discredited in the second half of the twentieth century. The master's program Material Utopias at the Sandberg Instituut put an end to this tradition by abolishing the unproductive hierarchy separating “concept” and “making,” “content” and “process.”
