Stuart Bertolotti-Bailey

This is the final pamphlet in a set of three concerned with art/design education following Towards a Critical Faculty and (Only an Attitude of Orientation)—and so forming the end of a long composite sentence. It was compiled by The Serving Library, which at that time comprised myself, Angie Keefer, and David Reinfurt, and published together with The Banff Centre, where it served as a prospectus for a six-week summer school we ran there the same year.

The idea was to put into practice some of the ideas assembled in the previous two pamphlets via a daily series of seminars that would aim to reconsider what a present-day Foundation Course could or should entail. It is followed by short descriptions of thaat course’s weekly components, each written by that component’s “teacher” (Angie, David and myself, plus Robert Snowden, Anthony Huberman and Dan Fox).
