The MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths is currently welcoming applications for entry in 2017.
Our programme is directed to enabling emerging artists to become independent, articulate, confident and self-motivated in their practice and thinking. Our student-centred approach to teaching gives artists the tools to acquire a thorough critical understanding of the creation and reception of contemporary art today.
Our ethos is interdisciplinary, with artists working together across media and interests. Theory and practice are fully integrated with a strong emphasis on open discussion, peer-to-peer learning and for you to develop your range of abilities to the fullest.
We offer a supportive, highly engaged environment for study and artistic development at the heart of London’s art world. The MFA Fine Art inhabits a dedicated spacious studio complex in Deptford, one of London’s most vibrant and interesting areas for emerging art and design. The studios are a short walk from the Goldsmiths campus at New Cross.
The Department has a full compliment of state of the art workshops and laboratories staffed by fully qualified technicians. All MFA students have full access to the labs and workshops. We also provide projects spaces and encourage you to develop your own exhibitions and projects both in the College and outside of it.
Our curriculum is built primarily around one-to-one tutorials and seminars with permanent staff, including John Chilver, Nick Crowe, Ros Gray, Andy Harper, David Mabb, Suhail Malik, Simon Martin, Sadie Murdoch, Michael Newman, Lindsay Seers, Ben Seymour, Kate Smith, Jemima Stehli and Milly Thompson. This in-house teaching is complemented by tutorials with visiting artists, writers and thinkers chosen by the students themselves. In recent years, visiting tutors have included Ed Atkins, Nicolas Bourriaud, Simon Fujiwara, Anthea Hamilton, Mark Leckey, Renzo Martens, Sally O’Reilly, Katrina Palmer, Laure Prouvost, Dmitry Vilensky/Chto Delat, Guo Xiaolu, and Bedwyr Williams amongst others. Engagement with contemporary theory is facilitated though tutorials, lectures, seminars, workshops and reading groups.
Scholarships are available.
