To: <[email protected]> What Do Artists Know? Fellowship opportunities Fifteen places are available for Fellows; accommodation is provided, and there are funds for travel expenses. Fellows attend 27 hours of closed seminars with the Faculty; there are also public panel discussions and evening lectures. A full schedule is on our website: http://www.stonesummertheoryinstitute.org The Stone Summer Theory Institute Is held each July at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. It is designed to investigate some of the principal themes of contemporary art. Each event will be produced as a book. The theme for 2009: What Do Artists Know? The education of artists is widely, even compulsively, discussed, but seldom theorized. This event will be a comprehensive reconsideration of theories of studio art education and artistic knowledge at all levels: first year, BFA, MFA, PhD, and professional. We will focus on three themes: the pertinent histories of art education (what is still taught, what remains in current curricula); the current content and philosophies of art education around the world and at all levels (what is taught in first-year programs, MA, MFA, and PhD programs worldwide); and the current state of theorizing on what artists know in society and outside the educational framework. An intensive week of seminars on the nature of the image Above: Students from the School of the Art Institute, in April 1913, protesting the avant-garde art in the Armory Show. They made a straw effigy of Matisse, which they called *Henry Hairmattress,* and they dragged it around the Art Institute, stabbing it. Notice the student with the rifle. The French-trained director of the School, William French, had made plans to be away at the time. Structure of the event The event is September 20-26, at the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. It is centered on seminar discussions; no papers are given by Fellows. The public events are taped, and will form the basis of the book (the 2009 event will be the third book in the series).
