IT FEELS AS THOUGH EVERY MINUTE YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH
Zoë Suenson-Taylor was one of two Academy students to try her steady hands at stone carving last summer. Part of the Carrara, Italy residency, Zoe created a sculpture that will make its American debut tonight at ABC Stone’s Brooklyn headquarters.

Giverny, Giverny, Giverny…you can certainly hold your own: Giverny 2013 Residency, Part 1
By Shannon Kenny (MFA 2013)August 10th, I arrived in Paris to meet with the Chilean women of the group, Alonsa and Daniela.

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
