How much discussion is there about integrating theory with studio practice?
It depends on the student and teacher. Students are expected to connect the projects in their project plans. Sometimes the connections are obvious and sometimes the connections require discussion. Sometimes integration occurs in more subtle ways. As students learn to think critically and to inform their work and their ideas, changes just begin to occur in the work. More and more we find students do not distinguish between their art or curatorial projects and their research. There is a tendency to see them as one project and we encourage this kind of thinking.
