Monday December 5th ushers in another session of the Co-Prosperity School Fall/Winter session. We are now accepting members. You should be one. Email coprosperityschool@gmail.com for contact. The Co-Prosperity School is an Artist-Run School for and about the advancement and understanding of contemporary Chicago Art. Through guest speakers and class member presentations we will shine a light on the contemporary art scene of Chicago. One of our goals is to break down the panel discussion dialogue of Chicago’s art and bring it to a more informal group discussion format in which shapers of Chicago’s Art World themselves tell of the contemporary scene.   Members can discuss their own work, or the work of others over beer at big table. The school is our collective effort in understanding what makes the art ecology of Chicago so mysterious, seductive and sometimes depressing. Past guests have included: Tricia Van Eck, Michelle Grabner, Curtis Mann, Daniel Tucker, Hamza Walker, Paul Klein, Duncan MacKenzie,  Cody Hudson, Carolne Picard, Jason Foumberg, Carrie Gundersdorf, Shannon Stratton, Juan Chavez, Tom Torluemke, Tom Burtonwood, Aron Packer, James Duignan, Nandipha Mntambo, and Barbara Koenen. You should join us. It's $150 for the 8 sessions. We start orientation on December 5th, 2011, at the Co-Prosperity Sphere in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future.
