Performa is pleased to collaborate this November with The Public School (for Architecture) New York, a project by Van Alen Institute New York Prize fellows common room and Telic Arts Exchange. The Public School (for Architecture) is a self-organizing educational program for which the general public is invited to propose the curriculum and schedule.
Courses of The Public School (for Architecture) will be taught throughout New York City as itinerant installations during Fall 2009, and the curriculum will be developed through public access to its website. The project locates areas where new ideas are possible, suggests ways that architecture can be engaged with even while financial support is diminishing, and seeks to identify and activate a community of users beyond affiliations to a single organization. In doing so, the school aims to create a public for architecture while opening up architecture for the public.
Enrollment is open to non-architects and architects alike. Visit http://nyc.thepublicschool.org to propose classes, comment on or register in a class already proposed, offer to teach a class, and find out when and where classes will take place.
