The Graduate School of Art’s 2015 MFA thesis exhibition at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum is the culmination of an intensive two-year studio program undertaken by the following students: Diana Casanova, Andrea M. Coates, Margaux Crump, Brandon Daniels, Addoley Dzegede, Vita Eruhimovitz, Amanda Helman, Carling Hale, Mike Helms, Ming Ying Hong, Sea A. Joung, Stephanie Kang, Dayna Kriz, Thomas Moore, Jacob Muldowney, Laurel Panella, Caitlin Penny, Eric Lyle Schultz, Jeremy Shipley, Emmeline Solomon, Kellie Spano, Michael Aaron Williams, and Austin R. Wolf.
Students in the Graduate School of Art embrace a variety of innovative practices that challenge the conventional and habitual. The work produced by these students represents a diversity of ideas, materials, methods of production, and strategies of distribution. The results bear the evidence of experimentation and risk, and are at once tantalizing, poetic, satirical, and thought provoking. The Sam Fox School is proud to celebrate their achievements.

MFA in Visual Art at the Sam Fox School:
The Graduate School of Art offers a two-year, critically engaged studio practice program with myriad opportunities for collaboration, cross-disciplinary work, and research. Our program is an open landscape for the emerging artist—one that reflects the dynamic cultural shifts, global perspectives, and evolving technologies that shape today’s complex art world. While investigating their roles and responsibilities as artists, students challenge traditional hierarchies and embrace new forms of aesthetic thinking that include socially engaged and situated practices, site-responsive work, post-studio production, de-skilling, and DIY/maker movements. Graduate seminars provide contemporary and historical contexts for art making, while a thesis seminar supports students in their writing and the development of their ideas.
