PresentationLa Seine

Since 2009, in addition to the technical and critical support of the creative practice, this research program has proposed a theoretical approach to student research, and a professional implantation of the artistic work. To obtain the research degree at the end of this two-year program, each student will propose an exhibition at a professional site, accompanied by a publication.

The Program’s educational approach hinges on the exchange of knowledge and skills involved in artistic thought and practice. In addition to broadening students’ knowledge, the program ensures that they do their creative work under professional conditions. The group dynamic and interactive nature of the program encourages artists to “compare notes” on their individual studio practices and exercise their critical faculties together. A research seminar, meetings with accomplished artists and professional practitioners of contemporary art, and individual critical support further this stimulating and enriching experience for emerging artists.

Organization and courses

La Seine is a two year program, organized in four semesters. It runs for two nine-month periods starting in October and ending in June, with four to six new participants selected each year.

During each academic year, La Seine organizes:
– Meetings with visiting artists, curators, critics and key personalities in the art world.

– Presentations of work in progress, followed by a question/answer and discussion period on a regular basis in the studio context. Tutoring the group to best present their work in a professional context, followed by individual presentations of their work in professional situations.

– Regular studio meetings to discuss organizational issues related to the program that address the collective and individual needs of the group.

– Extracurricular projects: each year the students in La Seine make a subsidized trip to a foreign country for approximately one month. With the aid of La Seine and the school’s exchange program, a collaborative project is established with foreign institutions.

Critical and technical support

During the course of the Program, each student is provided with a dedicated team of pedagogical supervisors:

– Tony Brown, director;

– Patrick Raynaud, professor;

– A guest participant in charge of the annual research seminar of the Program. In 2009/2010, Paul Sztulman ran this seminar;
