Recent work by graduates of the MFA programme, Glasgow School of Art

Curated by John Calcutt and Graham Ramsay

The Master of Fine Art programme at Glasgow School of Art is happy to extend its relationship with the city of Berlin. For the fifth year running graduates of the MFA will exhibit their work in Berlin, marking an important stage in their development as independent artists. One of a small number of two-year postgraduate fine art programmes in the UK, the MFA has helped to establish Glasgow as a dynamic and international centre for contemporary art. The multidisciplinary nature of the programme ensures a wide range of work, in terms of both medium and subject matter, and an overall vibrancy. The MFA international exhibition programme has previously included shows in New York, Mexico City, Beijing, Budapest, Rotterdam and Copenhagen, helping to establish important links across the world. These international ambitions are also reflected in the range of nationalities of the artists represented here, the 24 exhibitors coming from 11 different countries.

Previous graduates from the MFA include Simon Starling (Turner Prize winner, 2005), Karla Black (Scottish Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2011), Rosalind Nashashibi (Beck's Futures prize winner, 2003), Martin Boyce (Scottish Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2009), Richard Wright (MOMA, New York; Turner Prize 2009), Michael Fullerton (British Art Show, 2011), and Claire Barclay (Scottish Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2003).
