Institut des hautes Ãtudes en arts plastiques (IHEAP)

Call for Applications 2013
Session 2013-2015

In 1985, the City of Paris gave Pontus Hulten the task of creating a 
graduate school for research in contemporary art. Its antecendents were 
to be the Weimer Bauhaus School and Black Mountain College in the U.S., 
and it was meant to function as an alternative to Paris's Ãcole 
Nationale SupÃrieure des Beaux-Arts.

In 2012, the Biennale de Paris, with its history, experiences and 
specificities, decided to open a new Institut des hautes Ãtudes en arts 
plastiques (IHEAP), according to its own operating mode which may 
consist in reactivating abandoned institutions.

The Institut des hautes Ãtudes en arts plastiques (IHEAP) offers 
participants a course of study where they can free themselves from the 
inherited art history of the 20th century, by investigating crucial 
issues of art in the 21st century, an ongoing history in which the 
participants will eventually take part.

IHEAP is open to all those who have an interest in singular and extreme 
practices which currently and sporadically appear in the art world and 
elsewhere. IHEAP is for those who want to change their artistic practice 
or professional activity, for those who after several years of art 
school want to break free of alienated learning, who expect more from a 
school than a framework for artistic production, for those who reject 
art as it is commonly practiced, and finally for those who wish to work 
on essential issues in intimate and experimental conditions.

The course of study is completed in two years. The first year is 
composed of sessions work that mix practice and theorie. The second year 
is dedicated to the creation of an activity report. Its purpose is to 
demonstrate the development of the participant's research. The 
development of this document will be carefully followed by IHEAP's 
staff.

IHEAP does not discriminate by age.
No specific diploma is required to apply.

Study at Iheap is equivalent to a post-graduate degree. The application 
fee is 75 euros. Tuition is 2800 euros for two years studies.

The two steps of the entrance examination at IHEAP:

1. Pre-admission
