The Locked Room
6:30-8 pm | Michael P. Metcalf Auditorium
In 1969, a group of faculty at Saint Martins School of Art in London initiated an alternative to the convention of art education and quickly achieved notoriety. Dispensing with student evaluations or deadlines, and with limited verbal communication, the “A” Course has become legendary. Gareth Jones, RISD Foundations Professor, and Garth Evans, Head of Sculpture at the New York Studio School, discuss their roles conceiving, structuring, and realizing the program. A short film depicting the start of the “A” Course will be screened. This program is presented in conjunction with the Make in the UK: Contemporary Art from the Richard Brown Baker Collection. Co-sponsored by RISD’s Teaching + Learning in Art + Design Department.
