Like a social club, [ ESC ] is formed around a common interest, activity or location.  We bring together MFA students from across New York City to meet and showcase their graduate art work, and to form a common network around the theme of creating social dialogue through art and media.

[ ESC ] was formed by EYEspeak, the student organization of Hunter College’s MFA in Integrated Media Arts program. Its organizers are Francisca Caporali, Laura Grace Chipley, Suyin Looui, Pilar Ortiz, Ariana Souzis and Sarah Nelson Wright.

Since our formation in 2007, [ ESC ] has hosted three events, featuring presentations, video works and installations from students in graduate programs including Hunter College’s MFA in Integrated Media Arts (MFA/IMA), Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU, Parsons The New School for Design and Brooklyn College’s Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA), Pratt Institute and Polytechnic University.

[ ESC ] seeks to provide a forum for emerging artists to share work and ideas and provide the opportunity for ongoing collaborations. Stay tuned for more events coming up in 2009, and join our listserv to stay in touch.
