INTERNATIONAL MFA PROGRAM: DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS TO THE TRONDHEIM
ACADEMY OF FINE ART EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 10, 2015

Due to the high number of applicants the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art
has extended the deadline for applications to the international MFA
program starting in autumn 2015. Applications can be submitted until
February 10, 2015.

The international MFA program is designed for artists with the ambition
to develop and enrich their individual studio practice with
cross-disciplinary investigations in a wide range of different fields of
knowledge. Situated within the international research context of the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and operating in
the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art, the program offers a unique
environment to expand the depth and complexity of self-initiated,
creative work and to experiment with new approaches across disciplines
and technologies.

The international MFA program allows artists to spend two years of
research-intensive investigation developing a project and an artistic
portfolio in a pre-professional environment. The two-year study program
culminates in a thesis project that is presented in a group exhibition,
which is carried out in close collaboration with local art institutions.

The Trondheim Academy of Fine Art is located outside of the NTNU campus
in a former factory building. The academy offers each MFA student a
large individual studio as well as access to collaborative workspaces
and newly equipped workshops for wood, metal, plaster, printmaking,
photo, video, sound and computer-based work. It is well connected to a
small but vibrant local art scene with artist-run galleries, exhibition
halls, and museums.

The MFA course program combines mentoring, studio visits, lectures,
workshops and field trips in a curriculum that reflects contemporary
issues and is in dialogue with a global community of artists and
thinkers. Collaborative projects, such as “Art and Common Space” and
“Politics of Memory”, focus on creative and intellectual approaches to a
critically informed artistic production. Current faculty includes
Anne-Karin Furunes, Simon Harvey, David Rych, Florian Schneider and
Milica Tomic.
