Title: What ELSE can we do?
We’re in the world and its chaos:
we can change the way we think about things
we can imagine
we can find new ways of doing and being
we can see other perspectives
we can consider
we can think and make and discuss critically
we can question
we can fail and fail better
we can privilege ideas
we can dream
we can succeed
Art is subversive because it changes what and how we think and act;
because doing what you want and what’s important to you is resistance;
because showing up is the best we can do.
Get unschooled—join Transart.

Transart MFA
Summer residencies in Berlin and winter in New York City are the
collective core of a graduate program in trans-disciplinary art with
one-on-one advisement during the academic year.
The international and flexible program—designed to provide a protected
space for experimentation, risk and the free exchange of ideas—is based on
the assumption that each student (and not any “educator†) is the expert
on where artistic practice might lead.
Rolling admissions for fall 2017.
Transart Studio PhD
Our PhD recognizes your art practice as research and was created out of a
pragmatic desire to alter the way artists think, speak and write about
their work. It fosters a subtle but crucial shift to acknowledge that
imagination, creative thinking and problem solving, and the ebb and flow
of making and/or social action are important and vital forms of knowledge
themselves.
And that by thinking differently about what we do changes what we do.
The Transart PhD creates a forum in which your research—the artwork and
the ideas that precede, accompany and follow—is nurtured, challenged and
above all encouraged. Our a-disciplinary model is designed to enrich
artists’ praxis; foster change; facilitate a connection between group and
individual work; provide the means for contextualizing work in the wider
world; and develop interactive strategies with audiences.
Rolling admissions for fall 2017.
Summer Academy
Guest artists and curators attend the summer academy to get a creative
surge, revitalize their practice, gain fresh perspectives on their work,
experiment in a protected, supportive environment and/or to strike out in
new directions. They are typically mid-career artists and curators who
wish to join graduate and doctoral students in workshops, lectures,
critiques, exhibitions, and events. Transart can help you design a
self-study program, support your praxis and advise you on an MFA or PhD
proposal. Transartists continue to exhibit, publish, perform and discuss
with their international community.
Apply now for Summer 2017.
