2016 MCAD Faculty Biennial

2016 MCAD Faculty Biennial

Campus wide showings of work from over 50 MCAD Faculty

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) is pleased to be spotlighting the art and research undertaken by both full and part-time faculty in the 2016 MCAD Faculty Biennial. This year some 50 faculty members in the college’s Design, Fine Arts, Media Arts, Entrepreneurial Studies, and Liberal Arts Departments will be participating in an exhibition in the Main, Concourse, and Black Box Galleries, installing work in the MCAD Sculpture Garden, or presenting papers, film screenings, performances, and readings as part of a Faculty Forum Series.

The wide variety of media and formats will showcase the breadth of the faculty’s expertise and offer audience members multiple opportunities to come to campus. As the title of the biennial suggests, artists and scholars are always connected to what has come before them. And instead of blindly championing the next new thing, faculty have been asked to address or consider: "What artistic ghosts are you chasing?"
