Thesis Exhibition

The Master’s Project culminates during the student’s last summer in residence with a presentation for the greater community. Students may either present their work as part of the annual Thesis Exhibition, or they may perform or screen pieces in a separate evening presentation.

Class of 2025 Thesis Exhibition: Off Site

The Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College (Bard MFA) is proud to share images from Off Site: the Class of 2025 Thesis Exhibition, which brought together the culminating work of third-year MFA candidates in the disciplines moving image, music/sound, painting, photography, sculpture, and writing. The exhibition was split between two galleries in Hudson, NY: Basilica Hudson and Time & Space Limited (TSL). Off Site was curated by Mary Fellios.

Off Site presents the work of Bard’s MFA Class of 2025. The title references the nature of this year’s exhibition as both a logistical reality and resilient methodology in which art activates pathways between malleable pasts and potential futures. Off Site marks a new era of openness for the program as this is the first Thesis Exhibition to occur off-campus. It is staged across two venues in Hudson, New York: Time & Space Limited and Basilica Hudson.

Disruptions around the source of the authorial voice; the destabilization of boundaries separating real and artificial space; and forms of perceptual mapping are among the concerns that spark connections between the works on view. Off Site showcases nineteen artists working across a variety of mediums—from painting to sound installation—alongside two nights of performances.

Mary Fellios is a curator who received their MA in Curatorial Studies from Bard CCS. They have completed research and worked on programs with Textile Arts Center (New York, NY), Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (San Diego, CA), Brooklyn Museum (New York, NY), Performa (New York, NY), and Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (Troy, NY).
