Printed Project Issue 4:
THE NEW PhD IN STUDIO ART
Curator / Editor: James Elkins
ABSTRACT
If youıre a young artist and you are wondering about how to land a secure
teaching job, there is an interesting I should really say frightening, new
possibility. It appears that before too long, employers will be looking for
artists with PhDs rather than masterıs or college degrees. For the best
jobs, it will no longer be enough to have an MA or an MFA (the standard
Oterminalı degree in the United States). This edition of Printed Project
provides materials to think about the new degree. It contains essays on the
philosophic forms of the degree, on current debates about it in Ireland and
the UK, and on the history of the degree. It also has a half-dozen short
excerpts from PhD theses, to show the kind of work artists have done when
they mix scholarship and art.
