Fellowship opportunity
The 2010 Stone Summer Theory Institute

The Stone Summer Theory Institute is an intensive week of
seminars, lectures, and panel discussions, held each July in
Chicago. Fellows are not expected to present papers, but are
asked to do up to 2,000 pages of advance readings for the
seminars.

This year's theme is "Beyond the Aesthetic and the
Anti-Aesthetic," arguably one of the central puzzles of
contemporary art practice. The choice between continuations of
modernism (with its aesthetic values) and the various kinds of
postmodernism that privilege politics, gender, identity, and
other issues, remains a formative one for young artists, and
continues to create deep divisions in the teaching and practice
of art.

Faculty include Hal Foster, Jay Bernstein, and Eve Melzter.
Places are available for fifteen Fellows, and funds are available
for travel and accommodation.

Full information about applying is available on the website,

Deadline April 15.
