SESSIONS: CON VERSE SENSATIONS is a two-part book/ event that follows in the tradition of autonomous artist-run schools. It is a response to the imbedded canons, institutional bureaucracy, inflated tuition, and increasing privatization of American art education and its affect on artistic production. This
first iteration sets out to pervert the field of knowledge production
by transforming an old Odd Fellows meetinghouse in upstate New York
into a weekend art/ school/ camp/ clinic/ cruising / slumberparty from
June 19-21 2009. Together, we will create a space for fully participatory
and self-initiated workshops that bring intimacy and urgency back into
learning.
The book is a compilation of participants' individual and collaborative
work acting as a preface to our coming together. In the spirit of gift
economies, we have made a print-it-yourself copy available here for
free download and widespread dissemination. If you are interested in
