School : a recent history of self-organized art education / A recent history of self-organized art education Sam Thorne. - Berlin : Sternberg Press, ©2017. - 380 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.

What are the possibilities and limits of self-organized art education in the 21st century? What can be borrowed from traditional academies, and what should be jettisoned? A substantial survey of self-organized art schools and alternative education initiatives, 'School' presents a range of projects in London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Lagos, Mexico City, Ramallah and St. Petersburg, among others. Founding artists, curators and educators map the fertile but contested territory of student debt, the MFA system, the 'pedagogical turn,' and the future of art schools.
