This paper is an attempt at answering one of the Conference theme questions addressing the future directions of art education, the question which is the third leitmotif of Documenta 12, a question first asked in 1902 by V.I. Lenin in a pamphlet addressing another social context in need of reform: What is to be Done? Lenin’s answer to the question is paraphrased in terms of the Conference theme question. The author’s terms conceptual intrigue and perceptual intrigue are introduced and explained as criteria developed from a Hegelian notion of art. It is argued that these criteria are of paramount importance to the assessment of quality in visual art practice. Finally, five premises are proposed from which a revolutionary pedagogics for contemporary visual art might be elaborated.
