It is for those who are interested in better utilising the Internet to connect, share, and make new knowledge. It builds on the premise that people have become increasingly networked as individuals rather than in groups, and that these new ways of connecting enable new modes of peer-to-peer co-creation. It is an attempt to translate my PhD research findings for community arts practitioners, and was inspired by the practices of CuriousWorks . The booklet is available as a free PDFin beta, and is CC licensed for re-purposing. I hope it's helpful! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pip Shea http://www.popomo.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Institut des hautes ?tudes en arts plastiques (IHEAP) Call for Applications 2013 Session 2013-2015 In 1985, the City of Paris gave Pontus Hulten the task of creating a graduate school for research in contemporary art. Its antecendents were to be the Weimer Bauhaus School and Black Mountain College in the U.S., and it was meant to function as an alternative to Paris's ?cole Nationale Sup?rieure des Beaux-Arts. In 2012, the Biennale de Paris, with its history, experiences and specificities, decided to open a new Institut des hautes ?tudes en arts plastiques (IHEAP), according to its own operating mode which may consist in reactivating abandoned institutions. The Institut des hautes ?tudes en arts plastiques (IHEAP) offers participants a course of study where they can free themselves from the inherited art history of the 20th century, by investigating crucial issues of art in the 21st century, an ongoing history in which the participants will eventually take part. IHEAP is open to all those who have an interest in singular and extreme practices which currently and sporadically appear in the art world and elsewhere. IHEAP is for those who want to change their artistic practice or professional activity, for those who after several years of art school want to break free of alienated learning, who expect more from a school than a framework for artistic production, for those who reject art as it is commonly practiced, and finally for those who wish to work on essential issues in intimate and experimental conditions. The course of study is completed in two years. The first year is composed of sessions work that mix practice and theorie. The second year is dedicated to the creation of an activity report. Its purpose is to demonstrate the development of the participant's research. The development of this document will be carefully followed by IHEAP's staff. IHEAP does not discriminate by age. No specific diploma is required to apply. Study at Iheap is equivalent to a post-graduate degree. The application fee is 75 euros. Tuition is 2800 euros for two years studies. The two steps of the entrance examination at IHEAP: 1. Pre-admission Candidates must send complete form application online to IHEAP before May 30, 2013 and provide a text limited to 10 000 characters, explaining why they want to study at IHEAP.

After the candidates?s application have been examined by a jury, applicants will be advised of results by e-mail. 2. Admission Pre-admitted candidates will be individually interviewed by the selection panel, on either June 20 and 28, 2013.
