The Department of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego is pleased to invite applications to a new Art Practice concentration in the Ph.D. program in Art and Media History, Theory, and Criticism. The concentration is designed for artists engaged in advanced research who wish to pursue their work in an environment geared towards doctoral study, and to produce studio work alongside a written dissertation. The UCSD Visual Arts department is recognized as one of the preeminent centers for contemporary art and media practice in the country, combining a vibrant MFA program with an exciting new Ph.D. program which has become a magnet for ambitious scholars committed to historical and theoretical research into contemporary art and media. The addition of a concentration in art practice was a natural outgrowth of the reciprocal relationship between history, theory and practice in the Visual Arts department. Rather than segregating art practice and history in differ
ent departments UCSD brings practitioners, theorists and historians together to encourage innovative work at the boundaries of disciplines, discourses, and methodologies.<br>
<br>
Art practice students fulfill the same requirements as students working in other Ph.D. concentrations, including the completion of two language exams, qualifying exams and the submission of a dissertation prospectus. Their dissertations, however, combine a shorter written component with a completed art project (film, video, exhibition, installation, public project, etc.). The program is particularly well suited for established artists who's work already features a strong research component. UCSD's status as a top-tier research university provides our students with access to faculty in areas ranging from linguistics and comparative literature to communications and Latin American Studies, and from computer science and oceanography to history and gender studies.<br>
<br>
Students entering the Art Practice concentration need either a master's degree (M.F.A., M.A.) or a bachelor's degree (B.A, B.F.A., B.S.). Applicants must submit academic transcripts, GRE scores, three letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, a CV, a sample of written work, and a portfolio or other representation of their art practice by January 16, 2008 for admission during the Fall of 2008. Detailed information is available on-line at:<a href=" http://visarts.ucsd.edu/"> http://visarts.ucsd.edu/</a> or contact Professor Grant Kester: gkester@ucsd.edu<br>
