This interdisciplinary low-residency program is designed to expand understanding of contemporary art through critical studies and research-based studio practice.

> *The class of 2013 . . . take on non-artistic techniques in order to break through the space that conventional mediums once held in their own singular way and signal a massive shift towards a contemporaneity in which everything and anything can be used as a material or proposition towards the making of art.*
