New Ph.D. Concentration in Art Practice


Department of Visual Arts at the
University of California, San Diego

http://visarts.ucsd.edu


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 different
departments UCSD brings practitioners, theorists and historians together
to encourage innovative work at the boundaries of disciplines, discourses,
and methodologies.

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.

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: http://visarts.ucsd.edu/ or contact Professor Grant
