Ted Purves' Momentary Academy is a free public education program, which will run throughout the duration of the exhibition. Embracing the gift economy, Purves has created this elaborate project as a true skill exchange: class offerings range from a creative writing workshop, to an experimental fashion design course, to a seminar on geometry. Also see Purves' recently published book: What We Want is Free: Generosity and Exchange in Recent Art (SUNY Press, 2005).
