Slought Foundation is pleased to announce a new series of curatorial study programs and course offerings in partnership with the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania. The courses combine critical theory and practice by providing students with classroom instruction about the theoretical issues involved in presenting contemporary culture and hands-on experience in realizing contemporary exhibitions, symposia, and publications. Through personal interaction with critics and curators, and studio visits and trips to galleries and museums, the students also come to understand the challenges and creative possibilities of the curatorial process. These class offerings are among the only undergraduate seminars of their kind in the country, providing students with opportunities to gain practical and theoretical knowledge about the process of curating at a leading contemporary arts organization such as the Slought Foundation.
 Fall 2007 Halpern-Rogarth Curatorial Seminar, Department of the History of Art, University of Pennsylvania. This graduate seminar, taught by Professor Christine Poggi, will engage the work of artist Vito Acconci through a Spring 2008 exhibition, conference, and publication at Slought Foundation entitled "Power Fields: Explorations in the Work of Vito Acconci" (here for more information). Slought Foundation gratefully acknowledges major support for this seminar from the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania.
 2007-2008 RBSL Bergman Foundation Curatorial Seminar, Departments of the History of Art and English, University of Pennsylvania. This two-semester undergraduate seminar, taught by Professor Aaron Levy, provides students with an intensive opportunity to participate in the curation of cultural programming at Slought Foundation (here for more information). Course readings and projects span critical genres such as art history, literary study and curatorial practice, so that students actively consider and problematize the idea of "genre." Slought Foundation gratefully acknowledges major support for this seminar from the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania.
