MFA Art Practice at the School of Visual Arts is pleased to announce the appointment of six new faculty members for our upcoming 2018 summer residency period: Angel Abreu, Gustavo and Gaelyn Aguilar (TUG Collective), Isaac Julien, Baseera Khan, and Glendalys Medina. These new appointments underscore our ongoing commitment to civic and community engagement through interdisciplinary art practice. They join an outstanding faculty of artists and thinkers. Detailed information on our faculty can be found here.
The Art Practice program at SVA is a low-residency, interdisciplinary graduate program. A carefully selected, small group of candidates comes together at SVA’s NYC campus for three successive, intensive summer residency periods. In the intervening fall and spring semesters, students engage in required, rich-media online coursework from all over the world. Participants combine personal narrative with critical theory to be active citizen artists.
MFA Art Practice aims to facilitate a global conversation about the arts. Ultimately, the program endeavors to foster an atmosphere of risk-taking and experimentation, and to create a community of artists and culture producers who look beyond a consensus driven approach to how we define what’s important in contemporary art.
