PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY
MASTER OF FINE ARTS IN CONTEMPORARY ART PRACTICE
Studio Practice, Art and Social Practice
Accepting Applications for Academic Year 2008-09


Dedicated to helping students understand and explore the ways that artists
and their work function within a larger social context, Portland State
University's Department of Art offers a Master of Fine Arts in
Contemporary Art Practice with emphases in Studio Practice and a newly
developed Art and Social Practice.  Applications for Fall 2008 will be
accepted through February 1.

The two-year, interdisciplinary program is built around a core of directed
study with a strong foundation in theory. Opportunities for critical
dialogue are offered via a weekly series of nationally and internationally
recognized visiting artists. Supported by an acclaimed urban university,
itself an integral component of one of the fastest growing creative
centers on the West Coast, Portland State University's MFA program allows
students to pursue investigations at the forefront of
contemporary art.

Within the new Art and Social Practice emphasis, one of the few such
programs in the country, students explore the social role of the artist
and seek to transcend traditional boundaries through direct engagement
with the public. The program takes social interaction and the
relationships between people and their surroundings as a starting point
for a wide variety of projects in multiple media.

Students in Studio Practice engage in independent research and production,
combining disciplines or concentrating on a single discipline, such as
drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, digital or time-based media.
The program offers individual studio spaces, multiple galleries,
state-of-the-art computer graphics and multimedia facilities, a foundry, a
welding studio, a printmaking studio, a darkroom, and wood and metal
workshops.

Recent visiting artists include Dan Graham, Jim Drain, Jo Jackson, Chris
Johanson, , Julia Bryan-Wilson, Allan McCollum, San Keller, Lisa Sigal,
Byron Kim, Dave McKenzie, Anne Daems, Fritz Haeg, Robert Pruitt, Jessica
Jackson Hutchins, Rigo 23, Vanessa Renwick, Melinda Stone, Jim Goldberg,
Jeanne Finley and Lynne Kirby.

Art and Social Practice faculty are Harrell Fletcher and Jen Delos Reyes.
Studio Practice faculty include Pat Boas, Horia Boboia, Erik Geschke, Bill
LePore and Rita Robillard.

Part of the university's School of Fine and Performing Arts, the
Department of Art is located within walking distance of the Portland
Institute for Contemporary Art, the Portland Art Museum, the Northwest
Film Center and major downtown galleries and design firms. With over 700
undergraduate majors, a vibrant and growing graduate program, a dedicated
faculty of internationally recognized artists, designers and scholars and
a dynamic visiting artist program, PSU's Department of Art is a place
where students from a variety of backgrounds interact, exchange ideas and
broaden perspectives.
