Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to announce a new bio lab that has launched at the University at
Buffalo under the leadership of artist Paul Vanouse. COALESCE: CENTER FOR
BIOLOGICAL ARTS will be a major facet of University at Buffalo’s Community
of Excellence in Genome, Environment and Microbiome. The lab will be part
of our MFA program if you know of interested candidates. We have also
started a new MFA exchange program with Tsinhua University in Beijing. More
info below!
Best,
Stephanie
MFA in ART at the University at Buffalo, SUNY
http://art.buffalo.edu/graduate/mfa
Applications due January 22, 2016
The MFA in ART is a full-time, two-year, program that promotes freedom of
creative inquiry and research that redefines parameters. Unique abilities
and
potential are developed in a community of students and faculty engaged in
intensive discussion, investigation, and production of challenging new
work.
Critical interactions with resident faculty, visiting artists, designers
and critics
form the core of graduate level involvement. The program is rigorous,
requiring a
serious work ethic and the ability to chart a course of personal
development.
Students have private or semi-private STUDIOS and access to departmental
facilities and communal labs. Shared labs support photography (digital and
black-and-white non-silver), print media (lithography, intaglio, screen,
digital,
relief and letterpress), sculpture (full wood and metal shops, bronze
foundry and
digital lab with laser cutter), graphic design, video/sound recording and
editing,
electronic/physical computing, painting, drawing, performance and biological
art. All studios and labs have wireless high-speed connections.
The Department of Art has GENEROUS FINANCIAL AID options such as Teaching
Assistantship (TA) Scholarship Awards. TA Scholarship Awards are designed
to attract and support graduate students who have exceptional academic and
artistic merit. TAs receive a stipend equal to about $14,000 per academic
year
and also receive a full tuition scholarship.
EMERGING PRACTICES at UB:
The Techne Institute for Arts and Emerging Technologies is a hub for
experimental art, and sponsors annual symposia and artist workshops.
http://techne.buffalo.edu/
A joint MFA venture between the Department of Art and the Department of
Media Study focusing on Emerging Practices (EP) is committed to exploring
the interdisciplinary space between emerging technologies and the arts. EP
students are focused on exploring the technical, tactical, cultural and
communicative potential of emerging technologies such as interactive media,
electronic installation, robotics, biotechnology and algorithmic image
synthesis.
