TRANSART STUDENTS are emerging and mid-career artists and educators.
Transart Institute’s residencies are a meeting place for cultural
exchange. Transart students and alumni will converge for the summer
residency from areas as diverse as Thailand, Egypt, Italy, Pakistan,
Iceland, Croatia, Ethiopia, Canada, Costa Rica, the UK and the US.
For many students the time at Transart is a transformational
experience. Performer and painter Nicole Stager wrote: “This program
has changed my life in profound ways. My art practice is more
informed, better articulated, more open, more thoughtful, more
grounded in theory.” New York based artist Virgil Wong found “The
community I’ve become a part of through Transart is already much more
immersive than what I’ve developed in ten years of living and working
as an artist in New York City”. Photographer and performer Angelika
Rinnhofer found that “to work independently can pose a challenge but
it also offers freedom and flexibility. Since a large number of
students are accomplished artists and earn a living, Transart’s
concept is ideal to work toward a degree and to expand one’s artistic
career in addition to having a job.” You can learn more about the
experiences other students have had at Transart online

SUMMER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
Reciting Sites, a seminar with Andy Warhol grant recipient Myron
Beasley that contemplates and interrogates the cultural politics of
public art and its construction of Memory and history with performance
theory.
Nowhere to Go, a workshop with Nicolás Estevéz, on the subject of
art=life which continues to be as relevant today as it was decades ago
when Linda Montano, Martha Wilson and Fluxus, for example, developed
works that existed within the everyday. The workshop will lead
students to tap into everyday life to use their experiences as
material for art.
Working the Self, a workshop with Laura González, that explores how
the artist copes with making work about him or herself. What is
revealed and what is created in the process of unveiling one’s
thoughts, experiences, dreams or life stories? Can an artist ever
create work that is not about the self? This course will explore
mechanisms by which work about the self is created, but also
analysed.
Remembering Spaces, a workshop team-taught by Deborah Aschheim and
Lisa Mezzacappa, dedicated to how we experience spaces with our bodies
and senses, how we remember these embodied experiences and how we can
devise new ways of observing, recording and recreating spatial
experiences that get at the deeper truth of the phenomenological and
narrative experience.
