What is happening with photography in art schools? It is a question that many institutions are asking today as numbers shift and slide across departments; the medium finding a next generation of fluidity and contemporary expression.
Geoff Kleem, Head of Photography at Sydney’s National Art School (NAS) said, ‘It is just a medium – it doesn’t mean anything until it is driven in a direction. The technology was simply pragmatic. It was just a platform for what you were doing with it. We have come to understand that now.’
