1. Whitney Independent Study Program
1 April 2008 is the deadline for applications for the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York City which consists of three interrelated parts: Studio Program, Curatorial Program and Critical Studies Program. The ISP provides a setting within which students pursuing art practice, curatorial work, art historical scholarship, and critical writing engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production. The program encourages the theoretical and critical study of the practices, institutions, and discourses that constitute the field of culture. Each year twelve students are selected to participate in the Studio Program, four in the Curatorial Program and six in the Critical Studies Program. The ten students participating in the Curatorial and Critical Studies Programs each year are designated as Helena Rubinstein Fellows in recognition of the substantial support provided by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. The program begins in early September and concludes at the end of the following May.
