PhD

PhD program based on theory-great idea, as long is it studio and research based. Thru the M.F.A program- you exploring your ideas, you are focused on yourself, what is good, but in the same time- two or three years, are not enough for some of us. Sometimes feels like you just scratched the surface. Then PhD is for you. For some of us it is all about: changes and exchanges informations- which you can get from even from traveling and collecting the experiences. I think I could believe that this can have the same equivalent as PhD program. I also realize that I still have to write a CV, and still somebody going to based on that.
Well, I hope that PhD “dedication” to aca-deme, not necessary means using the students to do research for somebody who is on PhD “path” (often in Poland), I want to believe that this ”dedication” rather means: actively working and finding an answer, or making statements in the field that is interested on. Actively in theory/and studio.

I am wondering if PhD program which is focused only on criticism/aesthetics- theory, would not be the same for students who graduated in art history? Some people might say that this is “their field”. Well, they are instructed “to make arguments not pronouncements”. Sometimes artists works the other way around, isn’t it? Maybe is like Barnet Newman says:” Aesthetics( so criticism) is for artist what ornithology for birds”?????????
