IHEAP NEW YORK

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2015

SESSION XI

The Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques (Iheap) is a French 
post-graduate institute for research and experimentation in art that 
serves as the educational branch of the Biennale de Paris. Iheap offers 
its participants a unique course of study that is not bound to the 
history of 20th century art but actively encourages the investigation of 
crucial issues of art in the 21st century, an ongoing history in which 
our students, known as sessionists, will inevitably help write.

Iheap is open to all creative practitioners who have an expectation to 
engage not only within the art world, but also with the world at large. 
Artists encouraged to apply are those who consistently question the 
limits of their singular artistic practice or professional activity, 
especially those who desire to break free from the often-alienating 
pedagogy of the art school environment.

Iheap is seeking applicants who reject art as it is often routinely 
practiced in fixed academic programs and whom acknowledge that 
experimental conditions are essential for the creation of art that is 
both challenging and intimate. Iheap moves and composes itself within a 
multitude of environments. It is a fluid school with no fixed structure, 
either pedagogically or geographically; each class takes place at a 
different location.

Course of study

Each session is completed over two years, two days a week. The first 
year sessionists engage in artistic practice, informed by a broad scope 
of theoretical orientations. The second year is given over to the 
development of an activity report and the presentation of a special 
project, with the purpose of demonstrating the maturation of each 
participant’s research.

The hope is that Iheap New York will, in its own way, reinforce 
contemporary French-American relations, as well as the historical links 
between these two singular cities, which have each played a key role in 
shaping the history of art. The possibility for students to actively 
engage in exchanges, or “residencies abroad”, between New York and 
Paris.

The application fee is 70 Dollars. Tuition is 9000 Dollars for two years 
of study.

Upon completion, Iheap confers a French post-graduate diploma that is 
research based, usually awarded after a masters or in conjunction with a 
doctoral degree. Participants may be enrolled in a parallel course of 
study while attending Iheap. Eligible candidates are not, however, 
required to hold a prior degree.
