Juicy Couture is a panel discussion accompanying the InterAccess Exhibition Beatrice's Centre for Student Affairs, discussing art school culture: the politics and the spaces in-between learning about and making art. The exhibition examines a small group of artists who graduated from the University of Manitoba in the early nineties as a microcosm for art school in general, speaking to the lessons learned both within the formalized structure of the classroom and in those informal exchanges and activities that occur outside of this space.

This panel seeks to broaden the discussion, bringing together professors, students and art school alumni from various institutions to engage in a frank discussion about teaching, learning, and talking their way through art school. This panel discussion speaks to the interactions that make, and/or break the people involved.

About the presenter:

Rosemary Donegan, Independent Curator, Professor and administrator, Ontario College of Art & Design

Speaking from her experience as a professor and administrator at the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD), Rosemary Donegan will discuss some of the ideas and issues that exist within art and design schools and the complex relationship between studio education and the notion of a broad Liberal Arts education.

Rosemary Donegan is director of the new graduate program in criticism and curatorial practice at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto and an Associate Dean in the Faculty of Liberal Studies. As an independent curator and writer, her work has focused on modernity and industrial and urban culture in Canada. In her exhibitions and catalogues, including Industrial Images/Images Industrielles (1988); Work, Weather and the Grid (1991); and Ford City: Windsor (1994), a range of archival imagery and installations evoke layering, complexity, and the often contradictory nature of modernism and industrial life. Donegan has researched and curated exhibitions for numerous Canadian galleries. Her catalogue essay, "Sudbury: The Industrial Landscape," (1999) was awarded the Inco Curatorial Writing Award, and her book Spadina Avenue (1985) received the Canadian Historical Association Regional History Award and was nominated for the Toronto Book Awards. Her articles have been published in Canadian Art, C Magazine, Fuse, Prefix Photo, Parallelogram, Public, Canadian Forum, Fireweed, Labour/Le Travail, and Archivaria. Most recently she was a research fellow in the Curating Contemporary Art program at the Royal College of Art, London
