Re: Studium an Internationalem MFA Lehrgang in Berlin

Ja Herr Beck,

sehe ich ähnlich. Die Stelle mit den 9765 Dollar hatte ich jedoch überlesen.

Naja "Marktwirtschaft rules" - "everywhere" würde ich mal weiterhin, "dreist" behaupten, ..?


So schöne Seminare, dann können wir uns halt doch nicht:
Masters in seeking of: advanced training in visual arts and media nennen, oder doch?

Yes, I would prefere indeed more obvious distinctions and more accurate descriptons, as well.

Somehow it is most regrettable for me that these curses are in fact limited to those who already are in some kind of so called, perfect positions, ... shorter optional winter residences in NY?

nevermind

Lieber Klaus,

vielen Dank für den Hinweis und herzlich Willkommen auf der Liste. Ich
sah Deine Anmeldung und hatte mich schon gewundert, was Transart
Institute sein könnte.

Ich muß nun sagen, daß ich nur aus dem ersten Paragraphen nicht
verstehe, worum es geht. Wenn ich versuche herauszufinden, worin die
entscheidende Information liegt, so wohl im "seeking advancement in
visual arts and new media".

Das ist ziemlich allgemein. Und dafür soll ich 9760$ im Semester bezahlen?

Mag sein, daß ich nicht alles überblicke, aber allein die Tatsache, daß
der Text auf English geschrieben ist, deutet doch darauf hin, daß wir
hier nicht ganz die Zielgruppe sind. Mir kommt so vor, als sei daß auf
einen nordamerikanischen und internationalen Markt zugeschnitten, der
sowieso gewöhnt ist, daß (Weiter)bildung Geld kostet.

Vieleicht könntest Du uns nochmal erklären, worum es beim Transart
Institut geht. Denn eigentlich ist Thing Frankfurt auch eine
Bildungseinrichtung.

Herzliche Grüsse
Stefan

> TRANSART INSTITUTE seeks independent, inquisitive and imaginative artist for its MFA Creative Practice. Transart Institute offers an accredited two year low-residency course for working artists, teachers and all professionals in related fields who are seeking advancement in visual arts and new media. The program consists of three intensive summer residencies in Europe and two shorter, optional winter residencies in New York. In the four semesters between residencies, students create an individual course of study with the support of faculty and self-chosen artist mentors wherever they work and live.

>
> TRANSART FACULTY AND STUDENTS come from a wide range of academic and artistic backgrounds as well as geographic locations. A majority of Transart students are emerging and mid-career artists and teachers at tertiary institutions. Summer Faculty includes:
>
> Iraqi born artist Wafaa Bilal who has exhibited his art world wide and traveled and lectured extensively to inform audiences of the situation of the Iraqi people, and the importance of peaceful conflict resolution. Bilal's dynamic installation Domestic Tension placed him on the receiving end of a paintball gun that was accessible online to a worldwide audience, 24 hours a day. Newsweek called the project "breathtaking" and the Chicago Tribune called the month-long piece "one of the sharpest works of political art to be seen in a long time," and named Bilal Artist of the Year.
>
> Myron Beasley is an International Curator and Ethnographer who lectures in the areas of Critical Cultural Studies and Performance Studies. His recent work explores how traditional ritual practices are mitigated, configured, and interpreted in particular sites/cities of the African Diaspora. His fieldwork has led him to the United States, Morocco, Brazil, and most recently Haiti where he is the co-curator of the Ghetto Biennale. He is also a performance artist who uses food as his primary medium.
>
> Nicolás Estévez, an interdisciplinary artist working mostly in performance art and public interventions. His projects have been exhibited extensively internationally at venues such as Madrid Abierto/ARCO, Havana Biennial, El Museo del Barrio, Bronx Museum of the Arts, P.S.1/MoMA. Estévez has been awarded a commission to present a town-wide project as part of The MacDowell Colony Centennial. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, NYArts Magazine, The Boston Globe, Art Nexus, Flash Art, Cuban Arts, and in major publications in Mexico, Spain and the Dominican Republic.

> THE TRANSART INTERNATIONAL COLLECTIVE, started by faculty and alumni, will hold exhibitions in Vienna, Manila and Berlin this year. The institute offers its former students a virtual and material basis for artistic practice, the exchange of ideas, opportunities and critiques, supporting individual and collective growth beyond the duration of the program through the collective. Despite its small size, Transart Institute has become a place where the diverse and often incongruous experiences, philosophies and epistemologies of the post-colonial world can be in contact with each other.
