In 2009 The Bruce High Quality Foundation split the atom of its activities and BHQFU was born. The U means “university” and it means “universe.” We wanted to convey scale, not limits. We wanted the sign above our imaginary campus gate to change with the wind – nothing singular or definitive, not a school, but a whole bunch of them. However, as opposed to a traditional university with several schools running in tandem, BHQFU would iterate over time, one model superseding another, each iteration learning from the last, so that the structure of art education itself remained the subject of our inquiry – a Big Bang and a mini Bruce universe, all things turning into one.
