The Google definition of thesis is a “statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved.” An MFA thesis exhibition is (arguably) an embodiment of a premise put forward by an artist working outside of market pressures and inside the shelter of an institution in which experimentation is encouraged and the emphasis is on process and learning. MassArt invites you to view the 2013 MFA thesis exhibitions and consider the propositions put forward by the 26 brave artists who are about to go outside.
The David and Sandra Bakalar Gallery and Stephen D. Paine Gallery showcase contemporary exhibitions by emerging and established artists. The galleries are located at 621 Huntington Avenue near the corner of Longwood Avenue, and are accessible on the green line E train to Longwood/Medical Area or the 39 bus.
