It's a pretty safe bet that elementary schools won't soon be competing with downtown museums and banks for a top architect's blueprints, though it's hard to fathom a space more in need of good design than the classroom. We spend a good chunk of our childhoods in these confines, which can change lives with something as minuscule as a seating chart. Weston Teruya and Michele Carlson's collaborative installation How I Learned to… examines how these spaces inform identity politics, with an eye on the way modern classrooms integrate and codify diversity. Teruya and Carlson's work is both sculptural and engaging, playful and socially conscious.
