The MFA programme has built an international reputation over the past twenty years as one of the UK's leading postgraduate fine art programmes. The MFA is a two-year, multidisciplinary programme, aiming to produce graduates who are equipped for a career in the professional art world: informed, confident, independent and ambitious. MFA students are drawn from all corners of the world, and the international dimension of the programme, as demonstrated by the list of artists' names above, is seen as one of its particular strengths.

MFA INTERIM SHOW 2013

MFA INTERIM SHOW: 27 April - 4 May 2013

You are invited to the opening of the 2013 MFA Interim show in the Mackintosh Museum on Friday 26th April 6-8pm. 

Stephanie Burt, Jack Cheetham, Patrick Cole, Johnathan Cook, Tianfeng Cui, Natalie Duncan, Marysia Gacek, Lauren Hall, Amanda Hillis, Selma Hreggvidsdottir, Heejoon Lee, Sarah F Maloney, Emily McFarland, Aniara Omann, Kirsty Palmer, Alexandra Panyuta, Malie Robb, Alexandra Sarkisian, Kelli Sims, Vigdis Storsveen, Maria Toumazou, Katrina Valle, Rika Watanabe, Dominic Watson, Lauren Wells, Fanny Wickstrom.

The annual exhibition of new work by twenty-six students in the first year of the Master of Fine Art comprises a great variety of works across a wide range of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, video, performance and installation.

The MFA programme has built an international reputation over the past twenty years as one of the UK's leading postgraduate fine art programmes. The MFA is a two-year, multidisciplinary programme: both of these fundamental facts are significant.  A two-year programme of study offers students an extraordinary opportunity to analyse their studio practice in depth, and to modify, develop and secure it accordingly. The multidisciplinary context also ensures that such developments are protected against narrowly defined ambitions.  MFA students learn from, and contribute to, the delivery of the programme curriculum, the experiences of their peers, and the wider art community based within the city of Glasgow.  Within this situation a premium is placed upon independence, originality, initiative and enterprise. The MFA aims to produce graduates who are equipped for a career in the professional art world: informed, confident, independent and ambitious. MFA students are drawn from all corners of the world, and the international dimension of the programme, as demonstrated by the list of names above, is seen as one of its particular strengths.

Location:
Mackintosh Museum The Glasgow School of Art 167 Renfrew Street Glasgow G3 6RQ

Opening hours: Mon-Sun 11am-5pm, 27 Apr - 4 May 2013

EVENT
Mick Peter in conversation with Tom Morton
 04.04.2013 | 7pmAt The Poetry Club

For this show, MFA graduate Mick Peter has been working on a new body of work taking literature, the world of ‘commercial’, illustration and graphic design as starting point. By using an anamorphic illusion the space will be transformed into a site for artifice and imagination, mimicking the tropes of ‘witty’ graphic design from the 60’s and 70’s. In this large scale installation Peter will continue investigate the transposition of drawings into sculptures and flat surfaces into improbable combinations of sculptural forms.

Mick Peter’s works assert the instability of meaning and the rhetorical potential of objects and images. His sculptural output transposes the absurdity and strangeness inherent in the work of writers and designers like Roland Topor, Stefan Themerson and Milton Glaser. In setting up strange and fantastical relationships his projects are disorientating and surprising.

Marysia Gacek exhibition in New York

March 15, 2013 - April 12, 2013

Opening Reception: Friday, March 15. 7pm - 9pm

NURTUREart Gallery, 56 Bogart St., Brooklyn NY

NURTUREart presents On the Golden Wire For Thirty Four, a collaboration between Marysia Gacek (current MFA student), Natalie Häusler, and Katharina Marszewski. Starting with the general idea of an exchange of content between artists, the initial focus of this project is put on the materiality of such content, rather than its possible meaning.

The point of departure is the limit: weight and volume of the most standard international package between the USA, UK and Germany. Each collaborator supplies one third of the materials and contributes to one Care Package*, which will travel from New York to Berlin to Glasgow to Berlin, before returning to its city of origin.

This exchange of matter focuses on the process, rather than what it manifests itself as in the end. The package is meant to supply three artists with the same materials to work with, without a pre-envisioned outcome. The collaboration examines individual methodologies leading to creating work using a model of giving and taking away.
When the package returns to New York, it will be put on display alongside artworks inspired by its content in a gallery exhibition at NURTUREart.

*Although “CARE package” is a registered trademarked term, originating in the wake of a World War II campaign to send food and supplies to Europe, the expression is still used in everyday vernacular to share the idea of providing comfort by sending food, supplies and small mementos. In 1945 Americans were given the opportunity to purchase a care package for 10 dollars to send to their friends or relatives. In 1962 President John F. Kennedy said that every CARE package is a personal contribution to the world peace and it expresses concern and friendship in a language all peoples understand.
