(Letter from Chair) August 10, 2011

Last Saturday, I spent some time with Dorota Biczel, dual degree graduate 2010, catching up. Dorota

is on her way from Barcelona, Spain, where she spent the year after graduation, to begin her doctoral

studies in Art History at The University of Texas at Austin. Along with Rachel Weiss, she just

participated in a seminar in Lima, Peru, where she had conducted her internship following the

international study trip to Mexico City and Lima she participated in. The seminar, Poner el cuerpo:

Formas del activismo artístico en América Latina, años 80, was part of an exhibition project in the

making, in collaboration with Red Conceptualismos del Sur (Network of Conceptualisms of the South).

Ania Szremski, dual degree graduate 2011, is on her way to Cairo, Egypt, with the Fulbright fellowship

she just won. Mehri Khalil, second year arts admin, has been blogging from there earlier this summer

for F-News about the aftermath of the revolution - part of which she experienced while home on

winter break - before she took up an internship at the Louvre in Paris. Fang-Tze Hsu, Arts Admin

graduate 2010, met current students on the 2011 study trip at her place of work, the Asia Art Archive

in Hong Kong, introducing them to her colleague Susanna Chung, who will join us for a Colloquia

session this fall while she is conducting research on audience development in the US. GA Anna Festa,

Colloquia TA Penny Duff and other second year students are hard at work in support of her project.

Also part of the study trip, both in Singapore and Hong Kong, was Weng Choy Lee, who will be

teaching with us this semester while Nick Lowe is on sabbatical, continuing his research with the SAIC

Roger Brown Study Collection in Chicago, Alabama and Los Angeles. This is just a small snapshot of the

many activities underway.

It is no less exciting on the ground in Chicago. A new mayor and a new commissioner of the Chicago

Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, a recently combined entity many MAAAP students

are involved with, are working out responses to the ongoing economic crisis, as cultural institutions

need to reinvent how they work. In fact, MAAAP students are involved in many organizations around

the city, be it ThreeWalls, the Hyde Park Art Center, the Field Museum, the MCA, the AIC, or any

number of student run apartment galleries.

As incoming students, you will need quite a bit of enthusiasm and stamina to not just make use of all

the opportunities there are, but to continue our tradition of making new ones.

I look forward to accompanying and supporting you along that way,

MAAAP Program Description The mission of the Master of Art in Art Administration and Policy program (MAAAP) is to provide a teaching and learning environment in which the role of the administrator and manager is understood as critically engaged and proactive. Our approach studies the role that institutions and policies play in shaping culture, through a grounded analysis of concrete practices and examples. The MAAAP program strongly encourages students to think beyond existing institutional and policy structures and assumptions, and to work flexibly in a dynamic cultural and institutional landscape. The program emanates from a conviction that neither the short­term interests of policymakers nor the theoretical debates of the academy should circumscribe cultural policy studies, and that neither should exist absent from considerations of and interaction with artistic practice and public debate. The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has a long­standing commitment to the profession of art administration, providing essential preparation for art managers in museums and community organizations, as well as art administrators in not­for­profit and for­profit arts organizations. SAIC is situated within the vital art and cultural communities of Chicago, which provide a wealth of fieldwork experiences and opportunities for mentorship, with resources such as museums, schools, alternative cultural programming, and art education professional organizations. SAIC provides interdisciplinary research opportunities that invite extended and focused theoretical and practical explorations into culture, policy, institutions, and their practice. The SAIC MAAAP program strongly encourages interaction with current debates and professional situations. Students plan their studies around their research needs that culminate in the Thesis. Interactions and practical experiences are actively encouraged, and are facilitated through the Arts Administration Fieldwork and Internship program, the International Field Study class, the Departmental Colloquium with a series of invited, distinguished guest lecturers. Graduates of the SAIC MAAAP program have careers at local and national cultural institutions, including public and private universities, museums, galleries, community­based organizations, and many other related sites.

For more information about career development and/or jobs please see the SAIC Student Employment Guide. Involvement e­merge This journal of arts administration and policy is an innovative, peer­reviewed online journal produced by graduate students in SAIC’s MAAAP program. It features original, pioneering theory and practice in the field of arts administration. We are dedicated to fostering creative discussions amongst leading professionals, academics and students, and giving them a vehicle through which to voice their opinions, share new ideas, and challenge the status quo. We are interested both in the role(s) of an administrator as an individual and in a wide range of institutional aspects of the field. Given the rapid growth of arts administration as a discipline, we seek to engage with and problematize issues related to arts administration as a professional practice. The focus of the journal changes each year; this year’s takes up issues of digital heritage, electronic cultural policy, and network cultures. The typical publication cycle is a call for papers released in the spring, writing and editing happening over the summer, and publication in October. For more information, please visit saic.edu/emerge. If you’re interested in becoming involved, please email [email protected]. Enrichment Fund The Enrichment Fund is a student­founded initiative in the MAAAP program that administers grants to fellow MAAAP students under the advisement of the department Chair. Through an endowment created in conjunction with the SAIC Department of Institutional Advancement, this student­maintained project strives to support current members of the program by subsidizing their academic and professional endeavors. The Enrichment Fund offers an opportunity for MAAAP students to serve on the board and strengthen skills such as board governance, strategic planning, fundraising, grant administration and archiving, to name a few. To become a board member, students may nominate themselves or be nominated by either a faculty member or fellow student. Nominations need to be sent to the department Chair via email in December 2011. Each year eight board members are elected and serve a term of one­year. For more information please contact Karen Patterson at [email protected] or Frankie Rosas [email protected].

Forum: The Forum is organized into a select number of categories. Please do not add additional categories to the forum. If you wish to post something to the forum that does not fall into a pre­existing category, consider posting it in the “General Blog” category for news and other departmental information.

Blogs: Share your current research with your peers via your Blog. Your most

recent blog posts will appear on the main page so your like­minded peers can offer feedback and exchange information.

Student Group Start Up

Student groups at SAIC reflect the many interests of our diverse population. These groups are active, often sponsoring school­wide events open to the whole community in addition to activities for their own membership. The International Arts Administration Association (IAAA) is an example of a student group initiated by the MAAAP program.

International Arts Administration Association (IAAA) The International Arts Administration Association’s focus is to curate the annual ‘aWay’ exhibition involving international graduate artists within the SAIC community. In addition to the annual exhibition, IAAA members support one another in a variety of on and off campus projects. The group meets throughout the year; location varies. For more information about IAAA contact [email protected]. International students are encouraged to join.

To start an officially recognized student group, you will need at least two student leaders and an SAIC faculty or staff advisor. Then you can complete the Student Group Registration Packet, available on the AIC Portal. For more information call (312) 629 ­ 6880, or to pick up a registration application in person, stop by Campus Life (Sullivan Center, Suite 1203)

See the Assistant Director of Campus Life to complete a Funding Request form and develop a budget proposal to submit to Student Association. Grants & Awards The Enrichment Fund Grant

In the spring of 2006, sixteen first­year graduate students in the MAAAP program co­founded the Enrichment Project in the course titled The Collaborative Project. They formed an endowment to provide much­needed financial support for the academic and professional experiences of students in the program. Beyond raising money, the class hoped the Enrichment Project would facilitate new connections between their program and its alumni, the broader school community, local arts professionals, and the general public. Exposure gained by fundraising events, a comprehensive communications plan, and a by­laws draft that addressed issues of the endowment’s management and perpetuity helped to cultivate many individual donations. The fund has grown since 2006, and the Enrichment Board is pleased to contribute four grants in the 2011­ 2012 school year: one Research Grant and one Project Grant in Fall 2011/Spring 2012. The enrichment fund grant streams are as follows:

RESEARCH GRANT The Research Grant assists in the development of a thesis or artistic practice. This grant allows for a period of research at a key moment in the applicantʼs scholarship. The

19

project must demonstrate the capacity to advance the thesis or the artistic practice of the applicant. Up to $500.00

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GRANT

The Project Development grant contributes to the creation of new work, project, event or exhibition. The project must demonstrate the capacity to advance the career of the applicant, benefit the community at large and/or contribute to thesis research Up to $500.00

Enrichment Fund grant recipients are selected twice annually, one cycle is at the end of the Fall semester and the other at the end of Spring semester. An announcement of each grant cycle is made towards the middle of each semester, the deadline for applications is typically the week before Reading Week. Grants can also be applied retroactively for projects or research already completed.

Please consider the MAAAP Enrichment Fund grant as a catalyst for your professional endeavors. For more information contact Karen Patterson at [email protected] or Frankie Rosas at [email protected].

MAAAP FELLOWSHIP AWARD

22

Upon graduation, MAAAP students are eligible for an MA Fellowship in the amount of $1,500. Each year the department will select two graduating students; one from the Arts Administration program and one from the Dual Degree program, to receive the award. Awards are made by nomination from your department and are facilitated by the Dean's and President's Offices. Please contact Department Chair, Adelheid Mers, for more information: 312/899 – 1232 or [email protected].

MAAAP Program Highlights MAAAP Fieldwork and Internship Fieldwork and Internships allow students to work in part­time, art­related positions in approved organizations and institutions. Students are assigned a faculty adviser, who assists in setting clear objectives for the Fieldwork, makes site visits, and participates in final written evaluation of the project. Participation requires a total of 225 hours, with a weekly minimum average of 15 work hours with the fieldwork organization. In addition, four seminar classes address issues of entering the workforce, and include discussion of fieldwork experiences and a workshop on evaluation techniques. Please contact the MAAAP internship advisor, Rebecca Keller for more details: 312/899­7481 or [email protected]. MAAAP International Field Study On an annual basis the international field study seminar is designed to take up questions and explore locations of current importance to the study of cultural policy. The course will provide direct contact with individuals in key professional positions in art organizations and cultural management agencies. The trip is preceded and followed by preparatory and reflective seminar discussions. The course concludes with a written report and critical review of the visit. Open to all graduate students. For more information on the 2012 Winter Study Trip please contact the Teaching Assistant, Jennifer Medford: [email protected] MAAAP Colloquium In the first semester, Arts Administration students will attend monthly colloquia in which a topic related to the field is discussed and analyzed. Presentations are made either by faculty members or guest lecturers. The aim of these sessions is to provide students with a critical and discursive engagement with contemporary arts­related issues and late breaking news. For more information about this course please contact the Teaching Assistant, Penny Duff: [email protected] MAAAP Thesis I and II Thesis 1 is designed to provide the student with the skills necessary to generate research questions, critically evaluate research studies, construct research design, and generate viable thesis proposals. This will be accomplished through lecture, discussion, activities, and the students developing a research proposal of their own design. The focus will be on applications­based research and the development of a thesis proposal to complete studies in the MAAAP program. It will also involve the study of institutional research methods such as program evaluation, needs assessment, market surveys, and descriptive market and quasi­experimental techniques as appropriate. The overall concern is that students develop thesis

23

proposals which promise to yield original research of value to the field. You must be a Master of Arts in Arts Administration student to enroll in this course. A master's thesis is required for completion of the master's degree in arts administration. The thesis should demonstrate a student's ability to design, justify, execute, evaluate, and present the results of original research or of a substantial project. In this class students work closely with an MAAAP program advisor, and meet frequently with other MAAAP participants in groups and in individual meetings. The thesis is presented, in both written and oral form, to a thesis committee for both initial and final approval. You must be a Master of Arts in Arts Administration and Policy student to enroll in this course. All students will be given a thesis advisor during the summer after the first year. Please contact Department Chair, Adelheid Mers for details on Thesis: 312/899 – 1232 or [email protected]. MAAAP Degree Requirements

Th 6:00PM ­ 9:00PM 116 MI BLDG ­ 203 Rachel Weiss Th 6:00PM ­ 9:00PM Michigan 112 Weng Choy Lee

This course examines cultural policy issues within arts organizations and society. A central objective of the course is to develop student understanding of the mission and operation of different arts organizations in the context of society's structures and needs. Cultural policy at the National Endowment for the Arts, along with other national models, will be critically analyzed. The philosophical foundations of the nonprofit sector, and the developments that have taken place there in recent times, will be examined. The educative role of the arts, and how this can be effectively integrated with an arts organization's program will be addressed through case studies. Alternative organizational models will be introduced, to encourage new thinking in the development of organizational missions. You must be a Master of Arts in Arts Administration student to enroll in this course. ARTSAD 5010: Departmental Colloquia

Tu 4:00PM ­ 6:00PM Michigan 707 Adelheid Mers

In the first semester, Arts Administration students will attend monthly colloquia in which a topic related to the field is discussed and analyzed. Presentations are made either by faculty members or guest lecturers. The aim of these sessions is to provide students with a critical and discursive engagement with contemporary arts­related issues and late breaking news.

Focus on organizational management and change, board of directors, case study. ARTSAD 5028: Project Development Lab

Mo 6:00PM ­ 9:00PM Michigan 112 Kathleen Dumbleton

This course is designed for MA or MFA students who are interested in designing, developing and producing multidisciplinary art projects using their own work and/or the work of others. The course will be a lab­like intersection of courses in arts administration, studio/performance practice, art history and cultural policy, in which participants will grapple with the complexity of merging practical skills with personal vision in real­time. Specifically, the course will be a combination of lecture, discussion and practice, using real project case studies and hands­on project development of students' own ideas. Participants will develop and merge skills in: incubating project ideas, developing strategy, writing, fund raising, marketing, collaborating,

28

managing relationships and producing. This course is ideal for students who intend to create and produce an 'event' as part of their thesis work. ARTSAD 5030: Development and Fundraising

Tu 6:00PM ­ 9:00PM Michigan 619 Lisa Key This course provides an overview of fundraising­public funding, proposal and presentation preparation, with an emphasis on the development of a funding plan for an organization. Planning includes corporate, individual, public funding opportunities in addition to events, communication and the use of technology in fundraising. ARTSAD 6010: Curatorial Practice

Mo 4:30PM ­ 7:30PM 116 MI BLDG ­ 203 Adelheid Mers

An examination of connoisseurship and the handling of original works of art in museums, commercial galleries, corporate settings, and alternative space galleries. Students will be able to participate in the preparations for the exhibition “The Hairy Blob – how the visualization of time impacts thinking about resources”, curated by the instructor, to open at the Hyde Park Art Center April 15, 2012. ARTSAD 6011: Curatorial Models/Experimental Contexts

Tu 1:00PM ­ 4:00PM Sullivan Center 782 Weng Choy Lee In this course, students will survey, analyze and develop experimental curatorial models. Discussion will include actual and virtual, local, national and international curatorial practices that have the capability to shift or occur outside of institutional boundaries. Students will have the opportunity to propose, develop, critically back up, and explore experimental models. Experimentation may revolve around participants' roles, location, materiality, media and technology, spatial and temporal extension, funding approaches, aesthetic, social and political criticality and other topics. Work resulting from this course may be a critical study, a plan, a grant application, projects in progress, fully implemented concepts, or a combination of those options. ARTSAD 6018: Art Economies

Tu 9:00AM ­ 12:00PM Michigan 111 Weng Choy Lee

Creative Industries discourses posit artists work as model of entrepreneurism in support of a greater realm of design that produces value­added commodities through information technologies. Developed in the late1990's after cultural critique had identified pedagogical, social and political uses of the arts throughout the 70?s and 80?s, this move completes a full turn away from the traditional 'art­for­art’s­sake' framework indicative of high culture, towards an understanding of culture as resource. Valuations of art worlds, works and practices shift depending on the framework evoked, leading to market, community and resistance inflected rhetorics. This seminar will attempt to untangle the strands.

29

ARTSAD 6085: Thesis I Th 1:00PM ­ 4:00PM Michigan 920 Patrick Rivers Th 1:00PM ­ 4:00PM Michigan 908 Rachel Weiss

This will be accomplished through lecture, discussion, activities, and the students developing a research proposal of their own design. The focus will be on applications­based research and the development of a thesis proposal to complete studies in the MAAA program. It will also involve the study of institutional research methods such as program evaluation, needs assessment, market surveys, and descriptive market and quasi­experimental techniques as appropriate. The overall concern is that students develop thesis proposals which promise to yield original research of value to the field.

Tu 1:00PM ­ 4:00PM Michigan 919 Rachel Weiss

The `new Cuban art'(approximately, 1981­2000) was one of the most important and audacious intervals of 20th century Latin American culture. This seminar will look at its works, impacts and legacies. We will look closely at the complicated interactions between artists, their works and the social and political conditions on the island; at the ways that Cuban culture has been represented abroad; and, at how Cuban visual art has circulated in the international art systems.

The second part of the course explores the philosophical foundations and the practical experience of the relationship of government and the political process to the arts. You must be a Master of Arts in Arts Administration student to enroll in this course. ARTSAD 5894: Media Futures­ Digital Heritage and Electronic Cultural Policy

Th 9:00AM ­ 12:00PM TBA Staff

Excitement abounds in museum contexts to employ digital media to preserve and record resources, create new user interfaces, remote access and smart didactics, support and expand scholarship through effective databases, connect with audiences of different abilities, develop new approaches to metrics, update marketing and development tools and strategies, including social networking, and also to present new media artwork in appropriate ways. Those complex concerns, discussed most recently under the heading of Digital Heritage, are unfolding within the larger framework of Electronic Cultural Policy. The development of national information regulatory systems like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other, global efforts to further expand legislation that supports digital rights management technologies are setting copy­right driven creative industries at odds with the cultural democracy museums seek to enable as part of their mission. Through critical readings accompanied by student driven administrative and artistic hands­on projects, this course will explore an environment in which the development of artistic and institutional mediascapes, including abilities to sample and create mash­ups, is predicated on the preservation of consumer autonomy. ARTSAD 6010: Curatorial Practice

Mo 4:30PM ­ 7:30PM TBA Adelheid Mers

An examination of connoisseurship and the handling of original works of art in museums, commercial galleries, corporate settings, and alternative space galleries. . Students will be able to participate in the preparations for the exhibition “The Hairy Blob – how the visualization of time impacts thinking about resources”, curated by the instructor, to open at the Hyde Park Art Center April 15, 2012. ARTSAD 6011: Curatorial Model/Experimental Contexts

32

Tu 9:00AM ­ 12:00PM Michigan 112 Staff

In this course, students will survey, analyze and develop experimental curatorial models. Discussion will include actual and virtual, local, national and international curatorial practices that have the capability to shift or occur outside of institutional boundaries. Students will have the opportunity to propose, develop, critically back up, and explore experimental models. Experimentation may revolve around participants' roles, location, materiality, media and technology, spatial and temporal extension, funding approaches, aesthetic, social and political criticality and other topics. Work resulting from this course may be a critical study, a plan, a grant application, projects in progress, fully implemented concepts, or a combination of those options.

ARTSAD 6019: Art Objects­ Valuation and Authentication

Th. 1:00PM – 4:00PM Michigan 818 Lela Hersh Dougherty This course will examine the dynamics of the art market and how collectors, museums, galleries, insurance companies, and the IRS attach value to art objects in diverse contexts. The class will include discussions with experts from these areas. Emphasis will be on collection care, what drives a work of arts value, authentication processes, the presence of forgeries in the market, provenance, use of Catalogues Raisonnes and elements of valuation. ARTSAD 6020: To the Museum and Beyond

Tu 6:00PM ­ 9:00PM Michigan 112 Britton Bertran

This course critically traces an archeology of postmodern cultural production, display, criticism, and radical political intervention by examining paradigmatic modern cultural institutions in general, and museums in particular. Analyses of modern socio­cultural politics according to Foucault and Benjamin will provide a basis for a critical examination of the cultural economies of which modern museums are the key agents and the materializations. Increasingly, the work of these authors has been taken up and deployed by contemporary cultural historians and theorists as a means of gaining critical perspectives on the complicated relationships between capitalism, urbanism, colonialism, consumerism, and, in the more critically adventurous cases, sexism, racism, and classicism. ARTSAD 6095: Thesis II

Th 1:00PM ­ 4:00PM Michigan 920 Patrick Rivers Th 1:00PM ­ 4:00PM Michigan 908 Rachel Weiss

The thesis is presented, in both written and oral form, to a thesis committee for both initial and final approval. You must be a Master of Arts in Arts Administration and Policy student to enroll in this course.
