Art School in the Age of Occupy: Is Another Art World Possible?
The contemporary art academy occupies a contradictory place in relation to the art industry, offering at once a critical space for discourse and a prelude to the larger marketplace. But what kind of art world is art school preparing students for? Is it the world of galleries, art fairs, and an asymmetrical economic system fueled by private patronage and the ever-growing wealth gap, or is there something else that we can envision given the discursive shift facilitated by Occupy Wall Street? How can we start imagining alternative art economies and modes of participation, beginning in the classroom? Moreover, how can the existing art world interact with and accommodate these models?This panel discussion, think-tank, and teach-in, brings together Martha Schwendener (critic, New York Times), Erin Sickler (independent curator, writer), Mary Ceruti (Director of Sculpture Center), Magda Sawon (owner of Postmasters Gallery), and Cheyney Thompson (artist, Bard faculty) to discuss these complex issues and the changing role of the art academy in a time of great historical transition and opportunity. Organized by Peter Rostovsky, Faculty.
