Transart is encouraging proposals that in the widest sense explore the archive, documentary art making; language/image; space, and inhabitation of space; software as art; network culture; the role of art making in peace, mediation and international relations; as well as performance. The proposal should demonstrate systematic study, independence, critical competence, and originality

TRANSART STUDENTS
are emerging and mid-career artists and teachers at tertiary institutions. Students’ experiences at the Institute are unique and often transformational. NY 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.” For composer and artist David Dunn “perhaps the most important aspect of the program, to me personally, has been the realization of just how constrained my professional life can be. I have no lack of colleagues or opportunities to present my work but my network of association tends to reinforce a particular set of intellectual and aesthetic assumptions that become ‘the’ set of assumptions. Transart succeeds at prying apart some of those entrenched viewpoints to provide space for new ideas and concerns. The truly international makeup of the students and faculty reinforces this.” More details online. You can learn more about the experiences other students have had at Transart

TRANSART INSTITUTE
As the Unschool Art School, Transart grew out of a desire to go beyond established institutional education where pre-formed and pre-formatted knowledge is passed on to all students in the same way. Transart works the other way around: a plethora of models and diverse input in a multi-perspective environment form a truly student-driven program. The Institute is also a platform for faculty to expand their teaching praxis by making space for creativity and experimentation. Beyond its educational objectives, Transart is engaged in building an international community in support of students, alumni, faculty and their artistic and academic practices.

An application form is online. [http://www.transartinstitute.org/Admissions.html]
The MFA Creative Practice
is a student-centered, project oriented postgraduate art program which fosters independent thinking, risk-taking and the creation of an informed and sustainable art praxis. The program is tailored to suit the needs of working artists with summer residencies in Berlin, winter residencies in New York and one-on-one advisement during the academic year, wherever students work and live.

The Transart Experience
The majority of Transart students are emerging and mid-career artists and teachers at tertiary institutions. Students’ experiences at the Institute are unique and often transformational. NY 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.” For composer and artist David Dunn “perhaps the most important aspect of the program, to me personally, has been the realization of just how constrained my professional life can be.

The truly international makeup of the students and faculty reinforces this.” More details online. [http://www.transart.org/students/]

Transart Institute
As the Unschool Art School, Transart grew out of a desire to go beyond established institutional education where pre-formed and pre-formatted knowledge is passed on to all students in the same way. Transart works the other way around: a plethora of models and diverse input in a multi-perspective environment form a truly student-driven program. The Institute is also a platform for faculty to expand their teaching praxis by making space for creativity and experimentation. Beyond its educational objectives, Transart is engaged in building an international community in support of students, alumni, faculty and their artistic and academic practices.
Deadlines
Applications will be accepted until November 1, 2012 for entering the program at the Transart Winter Residency in New York in December 2012. The deadline to apply for the Summer Residency 2013 is April 1, 2013

MFA with Advanced Standing – Start Winter 2012
Three spaces are available in the low-residency MFA Creative Practice for applicants with graduate level course credits in art, media, design and related fields from other institutions to begin studies in December 2012, completing the MFA in three semesters. An application form is online. [http://www.transartinstitute.org/Admissions.html]
The MFA Creative Practice
is a student-centered, project oriented postgraduate art program which fosters independent thinking, risk-taking and the creation of an informed and sustainable art praxis. The program is tailored to suit the needs of working artists with summer residencies in Berlin, winter residencies in New York and one-on-one advisement during the academic year, wherever students work and live. Students are free to pursue work in any art-related genre and to create their own course of study, working independently and with the support of self-chosen studio and research advisors. Short periods of intensive residency permit students to continue with their professional work and keep a balanced personal life while participating in the program.
The Transart Experience
The majority of Transart students are emerging and mid-career artists and teachers at tertiary institutions. Students’ experiences at the Institute are unique and often transformational. NY 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.” For composer and artist David Dunn “perhaps the most important aspect of the program, to me personally, has been the realization of just how constrained my professional life can be. I have no lack of colleagues or opportunities to present my work but my network of association tends to reinforce a particular set of intellectual and aesthetic assumptions that become ‘the’ set of assumptions. Transart succeeds at prying apart some of those entrenched viewpoints to provide space for new ideas and concerns. The truly international makeup of the students and faculty reinforces this.” More details online. [http://www.transart.org/students/]
Location
Transart Institute is an international program. Summer residencies take place in cooperation with arts organizations in Europe. Winter residencies take place in New York at various arts initiatives and galleries. At all residencies professional development workshops, visits and tours of cultural facilities and initiatives expand the regular academic program.

Transart is offering a low-residency PhD program for advanced studio art. The PhD at Transart is a three year full time degree program with an average work commitment of 30 hours per week, validated by the University of Plymouth, UK. The degree is offered exclusively for practice-based research (creative work) accompanied by a written thesis.
The Transart PhD in a Nutshell
In your first year you develop a project in which your creative practice is the research, in the two following years you carry it out, reflect and integrate your findings into your artistic practice, then wrap it all up in a thesis that can take on any form you and your advisors can agree upon.
Why a PhD?
In the US at the moment the MFA is still considered a terminal degree. Other countries do not make much of a distinction between masters degrees. The practice-based PhD has existed in the UK since the early 1980s, in Australia and New Zealand since the mid-90s and Continental Europe is catching up. In the US, a studio PhD will distinguish you in a pool of 300 job applicants, in the UK it might just be the entry ticket to a teaching position.
There are many other reasons one might wish to advance their studies. Doctoral work is an opportunity to gain another level of expertise, to dive deeper into the questions that drive your artistic practice, to locate this practice in one or more appropriate contexts (relevant theories, ideas, agenda, historical and contemporary art practices). Depending on the specificities of the project, trans-disciplinary contributions to knowledge are also a real (and growing) possibility.
Proposals
Transart is particularly keen on encouraging proposals that relate to its research clusters: Memory, Forgetting, Trauma and the Archive; Language/Image; Art and Social Technologies; International Diaspora and Post-Colonialism; Role of Art in Peace, Meditation, Performance Activism; Land and Sea; Liminality, Space/Place, Temporary Architecture; and Foreignness, Otherness and the Uncanny.
