A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Cultured Magazine selected Isabelle Brourman, MFA Fine Arts (Painting and Drawing) ’19; Theresa Chromati, BFA Graphic Design ’14; and Emma Stern, BFA ’14, for its 2023 Young Artists List, which recognizes up-and-coming artists to watch. “The makers featured here, all 35 or younger, are a testament to the resourcefulness and optimism required to choose not only the work, but also the life of an artist.”

  • The Williamsburg Avant-Garde: Experimental Music and Sound on the Brooklyn Waterfront by Cisco Bradley, associate professor of social science and cultural studies, was reviewed in the Los Angeles Review of Books, which calls it a “powerful manifesto for the shared artistic visions and cross-cultural pollinations of artists driven by a fearless anti-commercial desire to tinker and explore.”

  • Leslie, a Non-Fiction II project by Lisa Dodell, BFA Film ’25, is showing at DOC NYC. It will be playing at the Angelica on November 21.

  • Rebekah Morris-Gonzalez, director of climate initiatives at the Pratt Center, wrote a piece for City Limits about New York’s $5 billion climate opportunity. “With $5 billion at our disposal and the climate and housing crises looming, we can’t afford to continue the energy efficiency redlining that is currently built into the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) incentive design,” she writes. “It’s time to address long-standing inequities and make investments that will deliver clean energy technology to LMI communities hardest hit by historical disinvestments and the climate crisis.”

  • An exhibition by William Kim, MFA Fine Arts ’25, was featured as a “Must See” in Artforum.
