Columbia University 2009 MFA Thesis Show

Fisher Landau Center
Spring 2009

Artists: Cara Siik Benedetto, Christian de Vietri, David Brooks, Davida Nemeroff, Dennis Santella, Douglas Boatwright, Einat Amir, Eric Palgon, Eric Ramos Guerrero, Erik Vysocan, Gabriel Martinez, Gilad Ratman, Ian Cheng, Jaqueline Cedar, Mary Simpson, Michael Berryhill, Mira Dancy, Natalie Beall, Paul Heyer, Per Billgren, Peter Mandradjieff, Rona Yefman, Samara Golden, Valerie Piraino, Virginia Poundstone, and Zoe Nelson.

I was invited to curate and design the 2009 Graduating class thesis exhibition which is held yearly at Fisher Landau Center. The MFA Thesis show is often a long-awaited event for the art world, as many of the students hail from around the country and the world. Columbia’s program is known to be amongst the most rigorous in New York. Organizing the upcoming exhibition of 26 artists, all working in different media and working right up until the last minute is no small task.
