Transart Institute
offers postgraduate programs for working artists in a highly individualized
format The innovative MFA program consists of three intensive summer residencies
with lectures, workshops, critiques, seminars, performances and exhibitions in
Europe and two winter residencies in New York. In the four semesters between
residencies, students create their own course of study realizing individual art
and research projects with the support of faculty and self-chosen artist mentors
wherever they work and live. The MPhil/PhD is a 3–4 year full time degree
program with an average work commitment of 30 hours per week. The Degree is only
offered for practice-based research (creative work) accompanied by a written
thesis that contextualizes the work.
The Institute’s
programs are geared towards the development of a sustainable artistic praxis
rather than training in certain media or genres, challenging students to think
conceptually and work creatively in new ways. Current students work with
animation, curating, digital media, film, gaming, graphic design, installation,
painting, performance, photography, robotics, sculpture, sound, text, video,
virtual reality.
