SUNDOWN SCHOOLHOUSE started in 2006 as the series of Sundown Salon events concluded. Some of the Schoolhouse projects {including full fall sessions} take place at the Los Angeles geodesic home where it is based. Sometimes the Schoolhouse is mobile, with locals invited to teach and present workshops, classes and seminars which may last one day, such as Dancing 9 to 5 at the Whitney Museum in New York and Arthur Nights in Los Angeles, or an entire season such as The Philadelphia Training Camp for Expression Skills at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia. In 2008, projects included San Francisco Animal Lessons at SFMoMA; Utrecht Animal Lessons at Casco Office of Art, Design and Theory in Utrecht; How To Eat Austin at Arthouse in Austin, Texas; and Guided Estate Tours and Animal Drills at the 2008 Whitney Biennial. For Fall 2009 A Library for the Future was initiated online and Practicing Moving transformed the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock in Los Angeles into an open practice hall for movement. For Summer and Fall 2010, The Aldrich Workshops, will be presented as a part of the exhibition Something For Everyone, at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum.
