Intelligent life at other graduate schools

 (NOTE: I received this announcement from Ricard Torchia this morning; if you are free I hope you can attend)

The Graduate Student Association of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is pleased to announce the Second Annual FOURTH WALL PANEL REVIEW, a unique public event designed to shed light on the professional contemporary art world.

The panel brings together a distinguished critic, artist, and curator to publicly review and discuss digital images and written statements submitted anonymously by the MFA thesis students from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art's Graduate Program. The afternoon concludes with the selection of three artists the panel determines are most competitive for residencies, exhibitions and other professional opportunities. The event provides its audience with an unprecedented opportunity to gain a better understanding of the criteria and selection processes for grants, residencies, and teaching positions that usually occur behind closed doors.

Encouraged by the resounding, standing-room only response to last year’s inaugural event, this 2010 version will present three new, world renown jurors to help carry this developing Academy tradition forward. Join us as we collapse the fourth wall between artists and the people who are able to help their careers develop.

Panelists:

• Carol Diehl, Artist and Critic
• James Hyde, Artist
• Robert Cozzolino, Curator of Modern Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
