This publication documents the exhibition Educational Complex focussing on various issues related to a topic also addressed in a lecture series. In the show he organized, the artist Rainer Ganahl tries to locate where art finds its abhorred Other, namely, in education and its institutions. Educational policy, the intellectualization of art, with the overlapping of art and critical discourse figures significantly just as the exhibition is a medium.

Texts by Ingvild Birkhan, Sabine Breitwieser, Tom McDonough, Rainer Ganahl, Mike Kelley and Edward W. Said.
