NYU Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions Expands Faculty, Gallery Exhibition Programs, and Global ArtSites

Located in the heart of downtown New York, NYU Steinhardt's Department of Art and Art Professions has long been a home for visual artists. Students and faculty are surrounded by the intensity and innovation of the international art world, along with the vast intellectual resources of a great research university. The department's six-story Beaux Arts "Barney Building" is a true interdisciplinary artists' community housing studios, classrooms and exhibition space, as well as shops, labs, and facilities for painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography, metalsmithing, video, and digital art.

(...)

The Department's 80 Washington Square East Galleries, on Washington Square Park, will host curated exhibitions, screenings, and performances throughout the year. The exhibition calendar will include:
• the New York debut of the Papunya Tula Aboriginal Artists from Australia
• a site-specific installation by photographer Charlie White in the Windows on Washington Square
• a survey of work by the legendary artist and performer Stuart Sherman
• an exhibition curated by critic and faculty member David Rimanelli
• the Department's MFA Thesis Exhibitions in the spring

The Commons and Rosenberg Galleries and the Einstein Auditorium, located in the main Art Department Building in the East Village, will host public exhibitions, performances, and visiting artist talks each week.

In addition to changes at the New York campus, the Art Department has added new ArtSites to NYU's global campuses in Berlin and Ghana. The ArtSites allow students to participate in international culture directly, working with the local artists' communities. ArtSites offer advanced art courses, studio facilities, exhibition opportunities, and visiting artists programs. These ArtSites complement NYU's wide range of study abroad sites in Paris, London, Shanghai, Prague, Florence, Buenos Aries, Tel Aviv, Madrid, and Beijing.

The NYU Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions offers BFA, MFA, and MA Programs in Studio Art, as well as MA Programs in Art Education, Visual Arts Administration, Art Therapy, and Costume Studies.

PARSONS LAUNCHES INTERMEDIA INITIATIVE

The School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons The New School for Design has announced its new "Intermedia Initiative" under the directorship of Associate Professor Coco Fusco. This new area of research and public programming will explore developments in the fields of New Genres and New Media and will foster increased cross-disciplinary exchange within Parsons. The Intermedia Initiative will involve faculty, visiting scholars and guest artists whose work engages with photography, time based media, digital arts, contemporary art history and visual culture studies. During its first year, the Intermedia Initiative will sponsor a weekly interdisciplinary artists lecture series, a new transdisciplinary graduate seminar featuring a wide range of guest scholars, a symposium on Performance and Politics in Guatemala, and new undergraduate and graduate studio courses. The principle goal of the Intermedia Initiative will be foment cross-disciplinary exchange among faculty , students and guests and to expand the possibilities for interdisciplinary art practices at Parsons and The New School. Fusco will also convene a working group of faculty from AMT to explore possibilities for expanding interdisciplinary curricular offerings and degree offerings in the future.

"Parsons is pleased that Associate Professor Coco Fusco has agreed to become Director of Intermedia Initiatives," said Sven Travis, Dean of the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons. "With the new Intermedia Initative, AMT embraces the increasingly interdisciplinary orientation of all schools at Parsons and The New School. We are lucky to have an individual such as Coco already in our midst. I fully support her leadership of Intermedia Initiatives. I could not imagine someone more dynamic and well suited to lead this charge. During her year as Chair of Fine Arts, that program underwent a notable increase in its faculty, an important diversification of curricular offerings in time-based media, and a dramatic rise in MFA student enrollment. She will no doubt bring the same energy and creative thinking to this new initiative."

For over twenty years, Professor Fusco's work as an artist, writer and teacher has bridged many disciplines. She is a recent recipient of a Faculty Development Fund Grant from The New School for the creation of a new project in collaboration with professors Michelle Materre Media Studies and Veronica Lawlor in Illustration. As part of her duties as Chair of Parsons Fine Arts Department, Fusco initiated many of the projects that will serve as the foundation for Intermedia Initiatives.

Fusco herself is enthusiastic about the possibilities. "The most exciting changes in contemporary art of the past thirty years have come from the increasing diversity of the field, its locations, its manifestations and its participants. Art is now understood and celebrated as an interdisciplinary endeavor occurring on a global scale. Nonetheless, too many art schools remain wedded to structures that isolate disciplines rather than bringing them into dialogue. I am very pleased that such critical transformations in art can become palpable through the Intermedia Initiative at Parsons."
