Sculpture + Extended Media is a place that legitimizes and fosters restless becoming, where intellectual, emotional, and physical emancipation is as crucial for the individual as it is for the community. We rigorously engage the burgeoning philosophical, critical and technical conditions that shape art making today. Our mission is to continually develop a rigorous yet supportive environment that leads to the expansive growth of individual artists.
The Sculpture Department welcomes a broad range of approaches: from spatial-, object- and material-based practices; to performance, film and lens-based media; from social and relational to web-based and evolving technologies. Moreover, within the School of Arts and art community at large, Sculpture + Extended Media tests the limits of objects, images and actions, acting as a speculative laboratory that branches into science, philosophy, anthropology, ecology, ethnology, media studies, history and other practices.
Alumni from the Department of Sculpture + Extended Media include three MacArthur “Genius” Fellows and numerous Guggenheim Fellows. They have won Joan Mitchell Grants, Tiffany Fellowships and other major awards. Alumni attend prestigious residency programs, hold teaching positions in top schools and maintain active studio careers throughout the world. They are starting businesses, opening galleries, and changing the way artists engage with the community.
