"Full of ideas, stories and inspirations.. It is not an ordinary book; you open it by unwrapping a string attached to a special plastic fastener... This beautifully designed book contains 36 folders with interviews, texts and documentation by artists whose pedagogical and artistic practice both seem relevant for inspiring inventive thinking in art education... Akademie X also reminds us that the most important part of the learning process is meeting with real people and confronting their unique knowledge and experiences." —International Journal of Education
