Train ChatGPT as Your Studio Assistant:
An Introductory Workshop to exploiting Ai
This one-day workshop introduces artists to using ChatGPT as a powerful and flexible studio assistant to support both creative development and professional demands. We'll explore how to collaborate with AI to brainstorm new work, write and edit artist statements, craft compelling grant and residency applications, organize projects, plan exhibitions, and develop teaching materials or syllabi. You'll also learn the art of prompt writing—how to shape questions and commands that generate useful, nuanced, and imaginative results. Whether you're juggling studio time with teaching, curating, or community work, this workshop offers hands-on strategies for integrating AI into your practice with clarity, intention, and creativity.
The Exhibition to Come
Essays on a Curatorship in Process
This course proposes a collective and process-based curatorial exercise developed from scratch. Starting from the idea of an exhibition that does not yet exist — with no defined theme, no predetermined space — participants will be invited to collaborate in the invention of the conceptual and formal paths that will shape a hypothetical exhibition, with the potential to materialize in an actual venue in the future.
Art & Language:
Writing as Form, Process, and Practice
In this course, we explore writing not only as a way to talk about art, but as a form that runs alongside it—sometimes guiding, sometimes embedded, sometimes resisting clarity altogether. We’ll look at how artists across disciplines use language as structure, score, residue, texture, and refusal. And we’ll expand our fluency across both poetic and professional forms—learning to write in ways that clarify without collapsing meaning.
