The Art Practice program offers a low-residency, fully interdisciplinary approach to an MFA degree. In this post-conceptual, post-studio era, artists pursue their practice by engaging an idea first, and then develop a plan that may involve a combination of media, technologies and techniques, some of which are linked to traditional art media, and some of which find the artist working with technologies and industries not usually associated with artmaking.

We want to help prepare artists to feel secure in their ability to find ways to produce works of art using traditional and nontraditional media in both traditional and nontraditional settings. To accomplish this, we bring together a carefully selected, small group of MFA candidates who will devote three successive summers and the two intervening years to a program in which they will engage with artists, designers, art historians and museum curators. Core faculty members include: Suzanne Anker, Dara Birnbaum, Kathy Brew, Katrin Eismann, Thyrza Nichols Goodeve, Susan Hefuna, Steven Henry Madoff, Ernesto Pujol, Sarah Sharp, Gary Simmons, Jovana Stokic, Mark Tribe, Robin Winters, and Linda Yablonsky. Visiting artists and guest lecturers include: Vito Acconci, Cory Arcangel, Roger Black, Maurice Berger, Mel Chin, Liz Diller, Liam Gillick, Terence Koh, Lee Mingwei, James Harithas, Glenn Ligon, Douglas Nickel, Martha Rosler, Tim Rollins, Philippe Vergne, Carrie Mae Weems, Lawrence Weiner, and Terry Winters.
