TRANSART
INSTITUTE seeks independent,
inquisitive and imaginative artists for its low-residency MFA program.
In a uniquely international setting, Transart offers an accredited two
year course for working artists, teachers and all professionals in
related fields who are seeking advancement in visual arts and new
media. The program consists of three intensive summer residencies in
Europe filled with lectures, workshops, critiques, seminars,
performances and exhibitions and two shorter winter residencies in New
York City. In the four semesters between residencies, students create
an individual course of study realizing art and research projects with
the support of faculty and self-chosen advisors wherever they work and
live.
THE MFA PROGRAM is geared towards the
development of a sustainable artistic praxis rather than training in
certain media or genres, challenging students to think conceptually and
work creatively in new ways. Current students work with animation,
choreography, curating, digital media, drawing, film, graphic design,
installation, intervention, music, painting, performance, photography,
sculpture, software, sound, text art, video and writing. More details
online.
SCHOLARSHIPS of up to 25% (50% for
residents and citizens of developing countriesup ) are available and
will be awarded with acceptance into the program at the early
application deadline.
TRANSART FACULTY comes from a wide range
of academic and artistic backgrounds as well as geographic locations.
Details online.
TRANSART STUDENTS are emerging and
mid-career artists and educators at tertiary institutions. Transart
Institute's residencies are a meeting place for cultural exchange.
Transart students and alumni will converge for the summer residency
from areas as diverse as Italy, Egypt, Pakistan, Iceland, Croatia,
Ethiopia, Canada, Costa Rica, the UK and the US. More details online.
EARLY APPLICATION DEADLINE is December
1st, 2011. Applications can be submitted online.
