Each one, teach one!

In the last event in the series of interviews with female HFBK Art Academy professors, Max Dax meets Jutta Koether, who was appointed Professor of Painting/Drawing in the winter semester 2010/2011. The two are no strangers, as they both worked for SPEX in Cologne and have even done interviews with one another before.

Koether, who refers to herself as a "multiple artistic personality", works as a painter, performance artist, musician and writer, aesthetically exploring her role as an artist with reference to elements of pop culture and images from the media and everyday life. How can such a broad range of themes and content be conveyed to students? And what effect does her own experience as a "late starter" in the profession have on how she teaches and on her view of teaching itself?
