One of the few things we have in common in contemporary society is the future of our children. But it seems that even the "we" of childhood, of learning and free play, has turned into a common ground for instrumentalization and competition. Today, the pedagogical paradox--Kant's meditation on the paradox that the subject's predisposition for freedom must be learned--is increasingly lost in governmental obsession about the efficiency of education and schooling. From another perspective, artists are addressing questions of childhood, play, and pedagogy.What ideological and moral transformations is the school system currently undergoing? What do the psychiatric diagnoses and treatments mean that are increasingly applied to children and youth? What happened to the reform pedagogy of the twentieth century? What is the status of childhood in the era of the consuming child and the playing adult? These are some of the questions addressed by The Phantom of Liberty, which sets out to reestablish a social and aesthetic dialogue between visual art and psychology, philosophy, pedagogy, and critical journalism.The Phantom of Liberty: Contemporary Art and the Pedagogical Paradox is published following the exhibition "Learning for Life" curated by Tone Hansen and Ane Hjort Guttu, November 11, 2012-February 24, 2013, at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter (HOK).Copublished with Henie Onstad KunstsenterContributors Emanuel Almborg, Nils Christie, Carl Hegemann, Ane Hjort Guttu, Dave Hullfish Bailey, Adelita Husni-Bey, Carsten Rene J rgensen, Lars Bang Larsen, Sharon Lockhart, Magnus Marsdal, Marit Paasche, Allan Sekula
