Eloise Fornieles

The research investigates whether performed acts of ‘Queer Extimacy’ can generate new narratives and voices on the gender spectrum, using my own experience of gender and my subsequent performances as an example.

Katarzyna Depta-Garapich

2017 – ongoing.

My practice-led research project “Neither Subject nor Object”: Reciprocal Readymade in Times of Useful Art explores ‘use value’ of art in the context of site specific interventions. The investigation examines the intersection of art and society, collective approaches to art...

Ellie Doney

We too are stuff , but as humans, we are no longer held to be alpha matter . This practical research project travels the boundaries of our bodies through the materials we ingest and reflect, noticing our temper and terroir.

Egidija Čiricaitė

2018 – ongoing.

My practice-related research furthers the discussion on artists’ books — and it’s peripheries, such as visual poetry — using the relevance theory of language interpretation as a framework to expand the conversation on multimodal art objects.

Anneke Kampman

This PhD seeks to understand the capitalistic functions of the music-video form, interpreting its distinctive mode of audio-visuality as characteristic of new forms of commodity production.

Hermione Spriggs

“Anthropologists don’t believe in things, they believe out of them.” Roy Wagner

Alfonso Borragan

The project proposes an artistic reading of stone ingestion while questioning the pathologizing of this practice by psychology. It contemplates the mouth as a site of profanation as well as a mediating device of possession, digestion and knowledge.

Jumana Emil Abboud

2019 – ongoing.

My PhD will investigate the role of folk tales as an empowerment device; empowering people, and people affected by conflict in particular.

Shino Yanai

This PhD research project aims to critique the power of the state and the aesthetics of nationalism.

Vaishali Prazmari

Thousands of artworks generated by the 1001 Arabian Nights, focusing on memory, magic and marginalia.

Robert Mead

This practice-led Fine Art PhD researches the concept of freedom of movement, aiming to address the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and prevent hidden injustices developing into a new hierarchy.

Nastassja Simensky

My current PhD research explores the potential of collaborative fieldwork between artists and archaeologists. In addition, this project asks how the development of place-specific and collaborative methods ‘in the field’ enable new ways of highlighting current discourses around nuclear energy...

The research started from a magical trip to Lijiang, Yunnan province. The excitement from the perfect resonation and rich historical foundation of a lost culture, made me feel the urge to exploit it in my work and build something upon...

Inherent to my studies is the concept of “neo-folk art”, interpreted as a typical style in the aesthetics of New China, combining the ideas of folk utopia, pop culture and propaganda.

Jasmir Creed

My practice led research is as a painter who explores urban alienation in contemporary transcultural contexts, based on my journeys in my immediate urban environments through depicting the cultural diversity of people including crowds, iconic buildings and sculptures alongside self-portraits...

Leonor Serrano Rivas

2021 – ongoing.

Imagination is everything. I believe in an art practice fully governed by it that impacts actively in society: an artistic approach mediating between a technology-driven troubleshooting and a more holistic understanding of our context. Solutions, more often than not, come...

Bindu Mehra

Women’s voices in India continue to be silenced by the legacy of British colonialism and patriarchal, social, political and economic structures. 

Hugh Nicholson

2022 – ongoing.

Zeinab Feiz

Past projects.

Raimi Gbadamosi

1996 – 2001.

The inter-relationship between race, power and language has been chronicled in various forms. And despite attempts at renegotiation, the nature of polemical positioning does not seem to change. Visual polemics finds itself constantly defined and framed by cultural politics, placing...

1998 – 2002

This research project examined the concept of mediated presence through the perception of inanimate images coming to life, and the converse experience of human actors becoming inanimate images, whilst interrogating how this might articulate, substantiate or defy belief.

Mikhail Karikis

2001 – 2005.

Mikhail Karikis' doctoral research was a methodological experiment, which employed academic writing, music composition and art practice to explore notions of the 'self' through the study of voice and sound.

Sonia Bridge

2006 – 2017.

What is at stake within Breer’s process and distinctive employment of cinematic assemblage within the postwar period, is not only the desire to investigate non-traditional sites and techniques and to inclusively claim, say, the moving-image as an artistic medium, but...

Laura Cinti

2006 – 2011.

Laura Cinti is a practicing artist working within the intersections of art, biology and nanotechnology.

An investigatation of questions concerning the cross-cultural analysis and utility of images in Tibetan Tantric Buddhist art, as opposed to political conflicts that often arise in the media now.

2008 – 2014

In this research project I show how a performative, material reading of the artwork provides for an interpretive framework constituted as much by the form, subject matter and context of the artwork, as by the viewer’s embodied experience thereof.

This thesis explores how photographic images can expand pain dialogue in the consulting room to include aspects of experience frequently omitted using traditional measures.

Errol Francis

My thesis is concerned with cultural articulations of space, from the point of view of philosophy and from the perspective of artists responding to museums as key sites of cultural heritage.

Elly Thomas

2009 – 2013.

In this practice-related study I use a range of play theory to examine the creative processes behind the work of Eduardo Paolozzi, Philip Guston and Tony Oursler. All three artists express a need to create a semblance of life.

Kai Syng Tan

Kai Syng Tan's practice-related Fine Art thesis performs a discourse of ‘trans-running’ – running physically and poetically, and running as both subject and approach – as a playful methodology to transform our world today.

BU School of Visual Arts Presents the 2024 MFA Thesis Exhibitions

MFA branding designed by BU graphic design students Dhwani Garg, Veridiana Victorelli, Amanda Mundy, and Niharika Yellamraju

Boston University School of Visual Arts Presents the 2024 MFA Thesis Exhibitions

The exhibitions, on view from april 2-20, 2024, celebrate the work of 61 graduating mfa students – the largest cohort to date – in graphic design, painting, print media & photography, sculpture, and visual narrative programs ..

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts (SVA) is pleased to present the Class of 2024 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Thesis Exhibitions, on view from April 2-20, 2024. The MFA thesis exhibitions feature works of graduating students in BU’s MFA programs in Graphic Design , Painting , Sculpture , Print Media & Photography , and Visual Narrative . This is the first thesis exhibition for the Print Media & Photography and Visual Narrative programs since their launch in 2022. With 61 participating students, the MFA Class of 2024 represents the largest cohort of graduating MFA students in the BU School of Visual Arts.

Also new for this year, SVA’s thesis exhibitions have expanded beyond BU and the traditional gallery space. The MFA Painting Thesis Exhibition will be on view at Boston University Art Galleries’ Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery; BU Art Galleries’ 808 Gallery hosts the MFA Print Media & Photography and MFA Graphic Design ( Side B ) Thesis Exhibitions; and the MFA Visual Narrative Thesis Exhibition is taking place at the College of Fine Arts’ Commonwealth Gallery. The MFA Sculpture Thesis Exhibition will be a satellite show off-campus, on view in Allston at 1270 Commonwealth Avenue, an empty space that was once a drugstore and pharmacy.

“These MFA graduate students reveal highly individualized practices informed by culture, locale, historical research, texts, the property of materials, and the body’s relationship to the physical world. The studio is a site of transformation where the expansion of learning and the compression of making meet, as Painting MFA candidate James Gold aptly describes it in his catalog statement,” says Dana Clancy , BU School of Visual Arts Director and Associate Professor of Art, “Our graduate Class of 2024 are artists and designers who have weathered much recent cultural change and flux. A sense of experimentation and attention to community are both fostered through intense studio work, dialogue, and shared social time in and across programs.”

The BU community and the public are invited to experience the exhibitions and attend the receptions. Details regarding the exhibition hours and public receptions on April 12 and April 19 are listed below.

A Master of Fine Arts thesis giving an explanation and description of the creative work and process of performance and visual artist

Abstract This project, begun in 2006, uses photographic and video imagery to investigate the shifting nature of self-representation and identity, and the elusive concept of the ʻself-portraitʼ. Using myself as subject also allows me to explore the excitement of self-transformation. The thesis comprises a studio component made up of eight overlapping bodies of work that engage with the concepts of homage, mimicry, mimesis, masquerade and narcissism, and a written component addressing these concepts in relation to contemporary art more broadly and my place in it. My artistic production is characterised by repeated efforts to represent myself in different appearances by manipulating the surface of my body differently, particularly my face. For me it is a celebration of the performance of life, of the ever-changing nature of life and identity. The images show myself in a wide variety of appearances, and are emblematic of growth, change, adaptation, and transition. Ideas around homage, mimicry and mimesis are integral to this project due to my interest in producing images of myself that are also self-identifications with more famous others. These are specifically Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Yoko Ono and Nico. However, my last body of work is something of a departure from representing myself through another, since instead I explore self-portraiture without adopting the persona of another artist.

Hiding Making - Showing Creation. The Studio from Turner to Tacita Dean

Rachel Esner

Williams Ebeno

When we watch a dance performance, we become aware not only of the dancer’s movements, but of our own corporeal capacity for movement. Thus, dance in exhibition spaces posits spectatorship as a physical act. It also provides an embodied understanding of our relationship to social spaces. How might this kinesthetic awareness be mobilized as a political gesture? My thesis examines the work of six contemporary artists - Jérôme Bel, Trisha Brown, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Joachim Koester, Ralph Lemon, and Rashaad Newsome - whose multi-disciplinary practices utilize two central tenets of the postmodern dance genre: the incorporation of everyday movement within choreography and a rejection of the archetypal dancer. I examine the kinesthetic experience of their dance events through the lens of political and spatial theories proposed by Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, and Doreen Massey in order to locate political empathy in everyday movement, social encounters and lived experiences.

calendar icon 01 Apr 2024    

Lincoln, Neb.—MFA Thesis Exhibition III runs April 15-19 in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery in Richards Hall. The exhibition includes the work of two graduating Master of Fine Arts students in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History & Design:  Jewelya Coffey (painting and drawing) and Matt Meyer (sculpture).  Coffey and Meyer will give artist talks on Friday, April 19 starting at 4 p.m. in Richards Hall Rm. 15. A closing reception will be held on Friday, April 19 from 5-7 p.m. in the gallery. General hours for the MFA Thesis Exhibitions in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery are Monday–Thursday, noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.  The Eisentrager-Howard Gallery is located on the first floor of Richards Hall at Stadium Drive and T streets on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln city campus.  Please contact the School of Art, Art History & Design for more information at (402) 472-5522 or  [email protected] . Follow the Gallery on social media via Instagram  @eisentragerhoward  or Facebook @EHArt Gallery to be informed of any gallery updates.  Below is more information about the final two MFA Thesis exhibitions: Jewelya Coffey  |  Softly and Tenderly Calling Jewelya Coffey (b.1991) is a multidisciplinary artist who makes two-dimensional and three-dimensional work. Her colorful, highly symbolic pieces play with themes of memory, grief, religion, rural life, folklore, growing up in the Ozarks, and explores the god-haunted image. Pushing the boundaries of what a drawing can be, she hopes to capture the spirit of drawing across many mediums. Born in Searcy, Arkansas, and raised partly in Aurora, Missouri, Coffey is an artist and educator currently living in Lincoln, Nebraska. She received her BFA in graphic design from Harding University in 2015. Her work has been most recently exhibited at Project Project, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, and Roberta and Bob Rogers Gallery in Omaha, NE, LUX Center for the Arts and Medici Gallery in Lincoln, NE, Harding University in Searcy, AR and sUgAr Gallery at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR. She currently attends the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she will obtain her MFA in painting and drawing in the spring of 2024. Matt Meyer  |  4:44 Matt Meyer’s exhibition is titled “4:44,” which comes from Jay Z’s album. “4:44” is all about the vulnerability of the Black American experience. Apprehension and elation are two feelings that flow throughout the work and sometimes intertwine. The work shown varies in material and style. There are 2D paper works, works on canvas, and digitally designed images that are printed onto canvas. There are also sculptures  that are created using wood, clay, found objects, and plaster. While things may seem separate, they still find a way to flow together. Things within this exhibition challenge how others see the Black experience and how we see ourselves. The goal of all his work is to leave an educational impression on the audience that will cause them to question life, as well as information that is taught. Meyer is a conceptual, mixed-media creator working with ideas of identity, education and history, both past and present. He creates using sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking and digital to tell a story through the Black Voice. In his work, he focuses on the Black experience within America, while still acknowledging and drawing upon the Global Black experience. He earned his B.F.A. at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. His work has been shown throughout the U.S. and internationally. Also on display through April 5 are the following MFA Thesis Exhibitions:

• MFA Exhibition II runs April 1-5 in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery and includes the work of Casey Beck (ceramics). A 2 nd  year MFA exhibition will run simultaneously. Beck and Christopher Williams will present artist talks on Friday, April 5 beginning at 4 p.m. in Richards Hall Rm. 15. Beck’s closing reception will be Friday, April 5 from 5-7 p.m. in the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery. • Christopher Williams (ceramics) will have his MFA Thesis Exhibition on display at the Lux Center for the Arts, 2601 N. 48 th  St., through April 5. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A closing reception will take place on Friday, April 5 from 5-8 p.m. at the Lux Center. Williams will also present an additional gallery talk at the Lux Center on April 5 at 6:30 p.m.
