What is art in the 21st century? What Makes It Valuable?

  
The discourse on the nature of art in the 21st century has never been more intriguing. While some creators remain firmly rooted in the traditions of their craft, others boldly venture into uncharted territories, invoking a constant debate around the central question - What Is Art? What makes it valuable? 

  
In the modern art world, it’s evident that success doesn’t adhere to a single style or approach. The diverse paths taken by some of the world’s most renowned and affluent artists underscore the idea that every unique style of art can become valuable.

  
This exhibition is designed not merely to showcase art but to stimulate conversation between divergent paths within contemporary art. The aim is to prove that success in the art world is not a monolithic concept but a spectrum of possibilities, each as valid and valuable as the next.

  
**Moreover**\- The guest of honour for this 8th edition is the globally acclaimed art critic and historian, Anthony Fawcett, who will deliver an insightful speech on the exhibition’s theme during the opening event on January 10th.

  
Anthony Fawcett, a legendary art critic, started his career at Vogue at eighteen and has since made a lasting impact on the art world. He brought Man Ray to London in 1969, collaborated with John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol, and Charles Saatchi, and created the Beck’s Art Sponsorship Programme. Fawcett has worked with iconic artists like Francis Bacon, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Tracey Emin and many others. He also founded Anthony Fawcett Consultants, served on the Whitechapel Art Gallery Development Board, and launched the Vertu Global Art Commission. Currently, he’s working on the “Anthony Fawcett Archive” with Tate Gallery.

The E75 Art Bus is an art journey exploring the E75 road through Europe. E75, or Europe Road 75, is a 5 639 kilometer long route that starts from Vardø in Norway and ends at Siteia in Crete, Greece.

  
E75 Art Vehicles is a project by Artists’ Association MUU and the Northern cultural magazine Kaltio. Project is part of the **Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture Programme**.

  
The project will host artist residencies together with an international residency network in 2025\. The art journey itself along the European E75 route takes place in April-May 2026\. The new artworks produced in the project will be experienced along the road and on the bus. The resident artists for the project are selected through an open call.

  
Roads connect European nations and people to each other. The E75 project creates both new geographical and new mental connections: the art bus unites the Mediterranean to the Arctic Ocean simultaneously with artists from eleven countries to each other and to active people in dozens of communities on the way. On the open call, we create and discover works that reflect upon universal European themes: democracy, giving peace a chance, and possible futures for our continent. In addition, artists can suggest projects pertaining to the technology and history of travel and communication.

  
The E75 residencies take place from April to June 2025, ranging from 6 weeks to 2 months. The artists are expected to present their work during the E75 Art Bus journey (Oulu – Siteía – Vardø – Oulu, 9 April – 18 May2026). The duration for artists’ participation for the journey will be negotiated with the artists later.

The residency organisations will offer accommodation and working facilities. Travel expenses, some material costs as well as the artist fee will be covered by E75 Art Vehicles project. The artist fee is 1500 €/month/person (this will be increased up to 2700 €/month if the project secures extra funding).

E75 – a journey through Europe

**The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School is pleased to announce its 2025–2027 Focus Theme, _Matter of Intelligence,_ and Open Call_._ Our newly envisioned Open Call, now spanning two rounds, is designed to welcome ideas and project proposals that find support and advance across a range of VLC’s programs and initiatives, including our signature fellowship program.** 

As part of our sabbatical, a year of slowing down and recalibrating our institutional rhythms and programmatic reappraisals, the Open Call has been reimagined to better support and celebrate the richness and diversity of creative practice, scholarship, and knowledge of our extended communities, thus shaping our curatorial thinking, approaches, and programs throughout our two-year exploration of intelligence. 

With _Matter of Intelligence,_ and an emphasis on forms of collective intelligence, this cycle of the Open Call places artists and their ideas at the forefront of our exploration from the outset, continually highlighting these voices and perspectives throughout the two-year inquiry. This approach builds on a solid history of past fellowship project proposals that have been successfully supported and presented through the center’s programs and publications.

Projects submitted in the first round will be considered for the VLC Fellowship, as well as a range of other programs, including the center’s seminar series, exhibitions, annual VLC Forum, and digital or print publications. A limited number of applications will advance to the second round and be invited to submit full proposals for fellowship commission projects. This new open call approach is designed to minimize the labor involved in the fellowship application, while continuing to engage and develop ideas and projects from the first round within the center’s programs. 

Fellowship project proposals creatively and rigorously approach the Focus Theme in content and form and make an intellectual and artistic contribution that advances the understanding of intelligence. Four two-year, non-residential fellowships will be awarded to commission and support scholarly and creative work that critically engages with the Vera List Center’s 2025–2027 Focus Theme: _Matter of Intelligence._ With support from the Mellon Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The VLC Producers Council, Vera’s List, and other donors, the VLC Fellowship stipend for this cycle has been increased to $**25,000**.

  
**Vera List Center Fellowships**

Vera List Center Fellowships support the development and presentation of ambitious art and research projects by national and international early or mid-career artists, writers, scholars, and activists, especially those who are members of underrepresented communities in the art world and those who struggle to find support because of the experimental, political, and/or research-intensive nature of their practice. The VLC Fellowship appointment is one of reciprocity and mutual benefits: VLC Fellows draw from the curatorial, academic, and professional resources of the Vera List Center and The New School, including faculty and students, as they contribute to the intellectual foundation of the Center. As commissions, the resulting VLC Fellowship projects are presented to the public through the Vera List Center’s interdisciplinary public programs and institutional networks.

  
**Matter of Intelligence:**

**2025–2027 Focus Theme**

Where does intelligence start? Where does it reside? What forms does it take? Does it even exist? 

With new advances in artificial intelligence, these and other questions about intelligence and intelligent life are increasingly being asked, with a sense of urgency, as the promise and threats of AI loom large. For four semesters, we will tackle these questions and pose new ones that emerge from our engagement with intelligence—distinguishing it from consciousness and sentience—as perception, capacity, knowledge, and wisdom across species and places and over time. While definitions and theories about the nature of intelligence are hard to pin down, even among philosophers and psychologists—with many arguing it is a social construct that reproduces classicist, racist, and ableist hierarchies—it is its colloquial pervasiveness and currency as a concept that we are most concerned with.

Along with intelligence’s common derivatives and doublets—intel, intellect, intellectual, intellectualize, and intelligentsia—we chart its usage across more obscure, seemingly unrelated frameworks, from intellectual property and intelligence agencies to intelligent design. With intelligence as a lens, we examine how knowledge and power are intertwined and how epistemic tools are wielded to influence, control, favor, and subjugate. Invariably, these discussions encompass testing and standards of cognitive performance, arbitrary hierarchies of intellectual ability and superiority—bound with eugenics, ableism, racism, and cissexism. Against this biopolitical notion of intelligence, there are other forms of intelligence rooted in more experiential, communal, and just ways of being and knowing in the world, from Indigenous and spiritual epistemologies to those we associate with our nonhuman kin. 

_Matter of Intelligence_ approaches intelligence as a subject of inquiry with tangible, material implications. It considers intelligence not just as an abstract concept but as something that manifests—whether through human cognition, natural processes, or artificial systems—and actively shapes and impacts our understanding and relations with the immaterial and physical worlds. In an echo of its etymological roots in _legere_ (Latin, to collect), two years of _Matter of Intelligence_ at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics brings together and links different forms of intelligence, of being and knowing. Art provides the transdisciplinary lens for this expansive consideration of intelligence and its multiple manifestations, including art itself as intelligence and an intellectual activity.
