April 13, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Parsons The New School for Design will present its MFA Fine Art Thesis Exhibition May 7 through 16 at The Kitchen in Chelsea.
The show brings together drawing, painting, sculptures video, installation and performance from 21 graduating students.
An opening reception will take place on May 7 from 6-8 pm.
"The exhibition's multi-disciplinary character is a reflection of the diversity of Parsons Fine Art Program's student body and their engagement with a wide range of current trends in global art practices," notes Fine Arts Chair Coco Fusco.
"Students in the program hail from Turkey, Korea, Taiwan, Russia, France, Canada, Colombia, Bulgaria, Ghana and Japan as well as from throughout the U.S.
They are encouraged throughout their course of study to explore connections between artistic methods, genres and cultures."
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue designed by the students featuring an essay by the exhibition curator, Anthony Allen, who is an independent curator, scholar and translator who is the Associate Director of the Paula Cooper Gallery.
