Fontbron Academy (2012 - 2013)
Created in 2012 by Robert Fontenot and Micol Hebron, Fontbron Academy is an unprofitable for-profit learning institution whose curriculum is based on the belief that art can be used as a lens through which all of life's mysteries can be illuminated.
Lectures were presented at a variety of Southern California art venues including The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena.
Topics included:
No Nutritional Value: An Introduction to Modern Food
Tear Down These Walls! A Frank Discussion on Home Repair
Moveon.now: Tomorrow’s Transportation Today
Aggressive Zoology: How to Avoid and Animal Attack
8 Steps: A User’s Guide to Addiction
Don’t Be Sad: Happiness Through Beauty
In 2013, Fontron set up a temporary AUXILARY CAMPUS at Cypress college as part of the exhibition Teach-In.
