Original artwork description
A small folding schoolboard becomes a philosophical object in GELA MIKAVA’s “TEACH ME TO UNLEARN.”
The phrase, written upside down, challenges the viewer to reorient their perspective — both literally and mentally. What once symbolized obedience and order now questions the act of learning itself.
This work transforms a child’s tool of education into a quiet rebellion, a reflection on how knowledge is built, imposed, and eventually dismantled.
MIKAVA invites us to unlearn what we were taught — to rediscover freedom in forgetting.
Materials used:
Wooden folding chalkboard, chalk, mixed media installation
Details:
- Mixed-media sculpture on Panel / Board / MDF
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 27 x 40 x 15cm
- Ready to hang
