TroubleTroubleTroubleTrouble brings together 14 artists at the conclusion of their cross-disciplinary MFA educations. Elements of installation, painting, photography, sculpture, print, and video—the individual products of each participant’s practice—converse across two stories and four galleries. Bound by more than just two or three years of collective studio incubation, each artist confronts distinct questions around lived, felt, or speculated experiences.

Exhibiting artistsUT Austin MFA Studio Art program
Over their course of study, MFA students in Studio Art work closely with department faculty to fine-tune existing skill sets and develop new approaches, both conceptual and technical, to their studio practice. In a challenging interdisciplinary environment, students often work across media and in close collaboration with one another, exploring the potential overlaps and depths of established disciplines. The department’s visiting artist and critic program brings acclaimed professionals from outside the university into graduate studios. As part of the diverse intellectual community that makes up The University of Texas at Austin, students have access to resources across campus allowing for a richly informed approach to art making.
