The Independent Study Program (ISP) 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 fifteen students are selected to participate in the Studio Program, four in the Curatorial Program, and six in the Critical Studies Program. Curatorial and critical studies students are designated as Helena Rubinstein Fellows in recognition of the substantial support provided to the program by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. The program begins in early September and concludes at the end of the following May. Many of the participants are enrolled at universities and art schools and receive academic credit for their participation, while others have recently completed their formal studies.
The ISP has the collaboration of the following list of theorists and artists: Vito Acconci, Hans Haacke, Martha Rosler, Benjamin Buchloh, Mary Kelly, Hal Foster, Chantal Mouffe, Laura Mulvey, Andrea Fraser, Gregg Bordowitz, Isaac Julien, Alexander Alberro, Soyoung Yoon, Emily Apter and Okwui Enwezor.
The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, each year offers the residence-fellowship The Whitney Museum Independent Study Program (ISP) for sixteen artists of international level and in which Ron Clark has been the director since its creation in 1968.
The Independent Study Program (ISP) consists of three interrelated parts: Studio Program, Curatorial Program and Critical Studies Porgram. The participants, engaged in artistic practice, curatorial work, art history studies and criticism, are involved in a production that examines the historical, social and intellectual conditions of the art world with the aim of developing a series of activities.
The activities will be an open studios session at the Lower Manhattan Loft where artists' workspaces are located, and two May exhibitions at The Kitchen and The EFA Project Space in Chelsea, New York, For which guided tours are organized for visitors to these spaces. Its purpose is to promote through these events the theoretical and critical analysis of the practices, institutions and discourses that constitute the field of contemporary culture.
AC/E supports participation in this program by the artist Elena García, known professionally as Elena Lavellés, where she will be able to get in touch with artists, theoreticians and first-level professionals from different cultural and social backgrounds, where she can develop a work based on Experimentation, self-criticism and deep analysis fully committed to a current social context. Art and culture are active components of the historical moment in which we live and, as such, act as dynamic agents in society and witnesses of a historical heritage.
