E S T A B L I S H I N G A M Y T H ?“... these schools have distinguished themselves through stableand continued integration of Den kulturelle skolesekken in theeveryday workings of the school. They have also received theprofessional artists in a friendly and convincing manner”(M:regjeringen.no 2007b). 176The fact that the choice is based as much on how they receive the‘professionals’ in the project — in this case listed as the artists — as on therec<strong>og</strong>nition of the educational aspect is very illustrative of some of theobstacles for an equal collaboration between the professions. The wordprofessional is never mentioned in relation to the teachers or schools involvedin the articles released of the event. This is curious as in the criteria for theprojects — the ‘art world’ prize — is mentioned explicitly:“The prize for best production will be awarded a productionthat most faithfully follows the aims of Den kulturelleskolesekken. With production we mean every way the pupilsmeet professional art and/or culture in their time in school...”(M:regjeringen.no 2007a). 177Only artist/art institution initiated projects are seen as projects in this sense.The reasons for nominating the art projects are very different from the schoolnominations. The art projects; “... are chosen because they are professional atall levels, have a high artistic content, challenge the pupils and facilitate artdissemination” (M:regjeringen.no 2007b). 178 While addressing the ‘art world’the word professional is used on several levels, while it is not mentioned inregards to the ‘school world’. Even if it is an unconscious decision of wordson the part of the reporter, it is a representation of the attitudes towards theinvolved parties.It might seem trivial to point out that the word professional is only mentionedin relation to the ‘art world’ — both in criteria for and evaluation of theGullsekken prize but it illustrates a tendency also shown in the choice ofjurors. The jury consists of six members from the ‘art world’, one memberfrom both worlds, and a single member from the ‘school world’ — in theform of a representative at the administrative regional level. It does not statewhether he has a background in professional teaching. This is a signal initself that the importance of educational professionalism is not regarded as176 OQ: “... disse skolene har utmerket seg gjennom stabil <strong>og</strong> vedvarende integrering av Den kulturelleskolesekken i skolehverdagen. De har <strong>og</strong>så tatt i mot de profesjonelle kunstnerne på en imøtekommende <strong>og</strong>overbevisende måte”.177 OQ: “Prisen for beste produksjon skal gå til en produksjon som er mest mulig i tråd med målene for Denkulturelle skolesekken. Med produksjon menes alle de måter elever møter profesjonell kunst <strong>og</strong>/eller kultur iskoletiden”.178 OQ: “… er valgt ut fordi er profesjonelle i alle ledd, holder et høyt kunstnerisk nivå, er utfordrende forelevene, <strong>og</strong> legger til rette for god formidling”.151
