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.
