Meet the Academy Fellows: Aleah Chapin (MFA 2012, Fellow 2013)
Aleah Chapin photographed by Maria Teicher (MFA 2013) One day earlier this summer, we sat down with Aleah Chapin (MFA 2012, Fellows 2013) to talk a little about her work, the Academy Fellowship, and what she’s looking forward to as her Fellowship year concludes. Academy: Your art is specifically linked to your childhood, rather where you grew up and where… Read More
Coming to an end…a short but sweet look at the week: Leipzig Residency – Part 6
By Krista Smith (MFA 2014) The past couple of weeks here have flown by. Between painting, panting in our stifling rooms, and making quick escapes to the lake, we managed to put together a great end of summer show. We all crawled out of our studios to help clean and hang the work alongside Kristina and Mareika (interns of LIA)… Read More
The Final Chapter: China Residency, Part 8
By Zoe Sua-Kay (MFA 2014) After a week in the Chinese capital and having soaked up some of the local culture and scene close to our hotel, we decided it was time to put our tourist hats on and see some of global tourism’s most famous sites – The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and of course, the Great Wall… Read More
The Colors of Beijing: China Residency, Part 7
By Elizabeth Shupe (MFA 2014) Today it rained. We woke up to the sound of the water gently swishing down the gutter outside the window and drip-dripping off of the roof. When I stepped outside of the hotel to make my way to breakfast, it seemed Beijing was still half asleep, curled into itself like a contented house cat The rain… Read More

Cospudener & The Bauhaus: Leipzig Residency, Part 5
By Shangkai (Kevin) Yu (MFA 2014) It is my feeling that it would be important to make a post that reflects our time here accurately. Beer drinking, sausage eating, lake swimming, grass and beach napping, museum visiting, and painting are our life in Leipzig. Before going on to the museums and general art talk, here are two pictures that sum… Read More
Satisfying the Inner Tourist: China Residency, Part 6
By Elliot Purse (MFA 2014) After a long, post-opening, post-artist talk, post-John Jacobsmeyer hang out, post-spa weekend, all of us subconsciously decided some down time was due. Monday and Tuesday were spent mostly entertaining ourselves and taking care of all the little things we’d put off over our eventful weekend (i.e. laundry, shopping, and getting a little more time to… Read More
Ancient Artifacts, Temple Ruins and 248 Stairs: Mexico City Residency, Part 2
By Garrett Cook (MFA 2014) It’s been an eventful couple of weeks since my last update. Two weeks ago I misstepped and sprained my foot, rendering me unable to walk for a couple days. It’s certainly a little frightening suddenly finding yourself immobile in a foreign country where you barely speak the language! Thanks to Motrin, bandage wraps and ice,… Read More
The Leipzig Residency is–as we would say in Jamaica–‘irie’ (great!): Leipzig Residency, Part 4
By Alicia Brown (MFA 2014) It has been 34 days since we entered the gates of the Spinnerei, and every day from that moment has been a pinch-me experience. Waking up in the mornings to the sound of Neo Rauch working in his studio (located above the large studio space I share with Krista Smith) is definitely my alarm clock… Read More
