Master of Science in Visual Studies, MIT

for information.

The MIT Visual Arts Program (VAP) seeks talented, curiosity-driven and
creative students to apply for upcoming academic year.  This selective
two-year program grants successful participants a Master of Science in
Visual Studies (SMVisS) degree.  Founded in 1988, VAP is embedded in MIT
under the aegis of the School of Architecture and Planning and within the
Department of Architecture. This unique position encourages a wealth of
interdisciplinary exploration and research.

The Program
The MIT Visual Arts Program operates as a production- and education-based
laboratory within the context of an advanced technological community. Our
program explores the wider role and relevance of art in society and
considers artistic practice as knowledge production, thus promoting an
approach that challenges traditional genres and the limits of the
gallery/museum context.  Studio investigations and artistic research are
realized through performance, video, photography, manufactured objects,
electronic systems, interrogative design, as well as through experimental
media and new genre.  Central to the curriculum is the potential for
students to concur with other areas of the MIT community. There are
endless opportunities to develop collaborative, interdisciplinary
relationships with programs and labs in architecture, urban planning,
media arts and sciences, mechanical engineering and
other disciplines.

Students &amp; Alumni
Students are encouraged to develop their own artistic vision and to freely
explore the unparalleled research and technological resources available at
MIT.  Recent areas of critical research engage in the role of art and
culture in today's society, from a radio broadcast vehicle (Max Goldfarb
'06) to rethinking knowledge production and transmission through artistic
means (Hope Ginsburg '07). Students participate in outside exhibitions,
and projects were recognized through a number of prestigious awards.
Alumni have secured coveted fellowships and teaching positions around the
globe, and have gained international recognition through exhibitions and
events.  Hiroharu Mori '04 participated in the 2007 Venice Biennial,
Jennifer Allora '03, along with Guillermo Calzadilla, participated in the
Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art, the Istanbul Biennial and the 8th
Sharjah Biennial, all in 2007, and Jill Magid '00 had a solo show at the
Gagosian Gallery, New York.

Faculty
Instructors are world-renowned artists with active, international careers
in artistic production, as well as a strong interest in cross-discipline
debate and modes of production. Director and Professor, Ute Meta Bauer, is
the Director of SITAC VI 2008 in Mexico City, was Co-Curator of
Documenta11 and Artistic Director of the 3rd Berlin Biennial. Professor
Joan Jonas has a current solo exhibition at MACBA (Museu d’Art
Contemporani de Barcelona).  Professor Krzysztof Wodiczko, Director of
CAVS (Center for Advanced Visual Studies) and head of MIT's Interrogative
Design Workshop, has a major retrospective exhibition upcoming at the
National Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas. Professor Wendy Jacob has
exhibited at Centre Georges-Pompidou and the Whitney Museum of American
Art. Visiting Professor Regina Moeller has participated at APERTO, Venice
Biennale, Manifesta and at the 3rd
Berlin Biennial.

Visiting Professor Antoni Muntadas is an internationally renowned artist
who represented Spain in the 2005 Venice Biennale.  Lecturers Andrea Frank
(Photography), Joe Gibbons (Video) and Jae Rhim Lee (Mixed Media) are
prominent practitioners within their fields and participate in exhibitions
worldwide. In addition, visiting artists and critics, symposia, workshops,
screenings, as well as a cross-disciplinary public lecture series, all
enrich the program by addressing topics related to current research
initiatives.

Artists/cultural producers with diverse backgrounds and experience who are
interested in pursuing innovative artistic cross-disciplinary practice and
research are encouraged to apply.  The deadline is December 15, 2007.
