Corner College is delighted to present Summer School by artist, Antoni Wojtyra, this summer during July and August.

Summer School presents readings, lectures, and films composed as a remedial Art theory class and is organized in a spirit of "each one, teach one" - Antoni Wojtyra will act as lead organizer, a guide, instigator and as a student learning, not just a teacher. The 7 week course employs a collection Art and theory by artists and primarily address 2 major issues: the ability of Art to effect social change and secondly places and strategies of Art production.

Texts will be read by each student in advance and will be discussed together as a group and supplemented by films, and invited guest teachers. The first class addresses the impossibility of learning and knowing everything and it will be held on Tuesday July 7, 7 p.m. All subsequent classes will be held on Tuesday evenings (schedule below). A nominal CHF 30.- tuition fee for participating students includes a course book published by Rollo Press.
