Many Thanks to I I Rashin Fahendejsaadi and Diana Pyatov, for master minding this year’s production. In thinking back over this year it was, by any standard, a good one. We had an extremely active roster of Visiting Artists, a multitude ofwonderful 2D student shows in galleries at school, and numerous students exhibited in venues outside of school. More students are spendingsemesters abroad; obtaining interesting internships; more residencies are being applied for and attained. The first 2D Senior Seminar was offered this year and most seniors are settingtheir sights more confidently on professional careers. Most ofyou have developed a strongsense ofcommunity during your career at Mass Art and a realization that your Mass Art family is the foundation foryour future network ofcontacts. Undoubtedly many ofyou will continue to exhibit together, share studios, have monthly critgroups with each other, and get together for each other’s openings. Hopefully you will all stay in touch with Mass Art via E-mail updates with the alumni office. One ofthe many attributes ofour department, I think, is the factthat students followtheirown individual path ofart making. There is no Mass Art “look.” I’ve been readinga book about De Kooningthisweek, so I will leaveyou with some thoughts from him regarding style: “Inspiration for the painter comes onlythrough the act of painting” "Transient and imperfect as an episode ofdaily life, the act of paintingachieves its form outside the patternings ofstyle. It cuts across the history ofart modes and appropriates to paintingwhatever images it attracts into its orbit. “No Style” painting is neither dependent upon forms ofthe past nor indifferent to them. It is transformal.” On behalfofthe entire 2D faculty I convey ourSincere Wishes to all ofyou as you forge your own fearless and ever expandingfuture.
