LESSON 3. GO FOR IT! NJP DOCENT
It’s a program that helps the youth reinterpret their understanding and appreciation
about contemporary art in their own language. That’s why we study, suggest and
experiment the route of how to approach contemporary art which is tuned into the
sensibility and eye level of the youngsters. The youth are no longer an educatee, but
carry out a role as a translator who translates contemporary art into the sensitivity
of the times, a practitioner who enjoys it like a play and a game, and a mediator who
shares such pleasure with others. After the completion of six week’s program, they
are supposed to do volunteer work as a youth docent for a day at Nam June Paik Art
Center during summer vacation.
