Making MFA 2012
Unlike at any other art school, this large scale exhibition of over one hundred artists is curated by a team of distinguished and emerging curators. The resulting exhibition is the culmination of months of studio visits, planning sessions, and installation negotiations that generated a formative dialogue around this generation of artists. Here is a behind the scenes look at the process with images and writings from the Curatorial Fellows and artists.
Curatorial Teams
Four Guest Curators guiding sixteen curatorial fellows organized this year’s MFA thesis exhibition. Interviews with the guest curators and fellows shine insight on the curatorial process.
Artists
There are over 110 artists in this year’s exhibition representing the next generation of thought provoking art production. The MFA thesis show is the result of two years of intensive artistic engagement. There’s a lot more to see.
