A New Institutionalism? Where Artists and Curators Meet

Saturday, February 24, 6:00 a.m.

United States

Panelists Include: Larry Rinder, Eungie Joo, Michael Brenson, Ute Meta Bauer and Lisa Wainwright.

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.

For more than 155 years, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has been a leader in educating the world’s most influential artists, designers, and scholars. Located in downtown Chicago with a fine arts graduate program ranked number two in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, SAIC provides an interdisciplinary approach to art and design as well as world-class resources, including the Art Institute of Chicago museum, on-campus galleries, and state-of-the-art facilities. SAIC’s undergraduate, graduate, and post-baccalaureate students have the freedom to take risks and create the bold ideas that transform Chicago and the world, and adults, teens, and kids in our Continuing Studies classes have the opportunity to explore their creative sides, build portfolios, and advance their skills. Notable alumni and faculty include Georgia O’Keeffe, Nick Cave, David Sedaris, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Cynthia Rowley, Michelle Grabner, Richard Hunt, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Jeff Koons.
