ABSTRACT

The School of the Art Institute in Chicago is one ofAmerica’s largest art schools, and we are committed to the newestart. Students don’t apply to our programs if their art is old-fashioned or conservative. The admissions committees for the big departments, such as Painting, Film, Video and New Media, and Sculptural Practices, wouldn’t normally admit a student who wasn’t savvy about Andres Serrano’s Piss Christ or Jeff Koons’s pornographic photos.
