Summer School
For ten years Summer School has been led by Minneapolis-based artist and educator Aaron Van Dyke, summer school is a gathering of artists taking part in a dialog around art making, teaching, and learning. Summer school aims to be somewhat of an antidote to the shortcomings of formal education, stressing openness, experimental forms of education and educational and artistic agency. It resides within the opening weekend of the Great Poor Farm Experiment each year.
Summer School 2019 is presented by Julie Niemi alongside carbon copy, an artist-run collective currently composed of Brigette Borders, Danny Bredar, Nathan Engel, Ed Oh, Daniel Salamanca, WooJin Shin, and Ke Yi (Leah) Zheng. Carbon copy's core areas of focus include collective action, experimental spatial syntax, and the changing position of painting in the digital age.
