This year's "SMFA Traveling Scholars" exhibition features works by five Museum School alumni who each received the prestigious Traveling Scholarship Award in 2008. The artists traveled locally and internationally and produced a new body of work on view in the exhibition. Fresh and energetic, each provides insight into the investigations of today's young artists. Lizi Brown, who traveled to Europe, presents a series of paintings forming a narrative; photographer Michael Bhler-Rose, who spent time in India, continues exploring issues surrounding the exotic; Liz Cohen revisited Germany to expand on her Bodywork project; Wendy Jean Hyde's installation is based on her research in Iceland; and Christopher Lamberg-Karlovsky explored New England, expanding his installation of small paintings.

Re-imagining Home: a Site for Personal and Social Transformation

Remis Auditorium
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115

In response to growing concerns about the environment and social inequity, artists, writers, academics and people from all walks of life have started to re-evaluate the way we live and to think about new sustainable forms of living. The SMFA's 2010 Graduate Colloquium addresses the role of home and domestic life within the context of personal, social and political change.

How does the way we live at home impact ourselves, our communities and the world? What are the personal and political implications of our choices—what we eat, what we buy (and don't buy), the way we use our time and design our domestic spaces? How can personal and societal change begin at home? Join us in engaging with these pressing questions.

The colloquium features presentations and a panel discussion with:

Mark Dion and J. Morgan Puett, artists
Fritz Haeg, artist
Rebecca Kneale Gould, associate professor of Religion and affiliate in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College
Stephanie Smith, director of Collections and Exhibitions and curator of Contemporary Art at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art
J.B. Clancy, architect and partner at Albert, Righter and Tittmann Architects

Since 2002, the Master of Fine Arts Program at the SMFA, in partnership with Tufts University, has offered topics for in-depth examination inviting visiting artists, curators and critics to join graduate students and faculty for a day of presentations, and panel discussions. These colloquia examine contemporary issues and esthetics, attracting leading thinkers in the field.

The 2010 colloquium is funded by the SMFA's MFA Graduate program and Artists in Context, a program of the Arts Company, Cambridge, MA and was developed by SMFA faculty Barbara Gallucci and Lisa Gross (MFA '11).

Admission is free and open to the public. Attendees must obtain free tickets from a kiosk at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to gain admittance to Remis Auditorium.
