A New Institutionalism? Curating from the Academy

This symposium will consider the manifestation of a "new institutionalism"
in the academic and public programs of art schools. Locating their remarks
within their present institutional contexts, the panelists will discuss
their practice-making exhibitions, commissioning artists' work, creating
new art projects and academic initiatives, and undertaking disciplinary art
research within the academic environment. They will also reflect upon the
terrain shared between art making and pedagogy, artists' practice and
curatorial methods, and the art school and the public realm.

Panelists will include: Larry Rinder, Dean of the College, California
College of Arts, San Francisco/Oakland; Eungie Joo, Director and Curator,
Gallery at REDCAT, Calarts, Los Angeles; Michael Brenson, independent
curator and Faculty, Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard
College; Ute Meta Bauer, Director and Associate Professor, Visual Arts
Program/Dept. of Architecture, MIT; and Lisa Wainwright, Graduate Dean,
SAIC.

Advance registration required. For information call 312-443-3711.

Note admission outside the SAIC community of students faculty alumni is $10
