The IMFA takes maximum advantage of the re-location of its students into a new cultural identity which explores the realities of life in a world where they suddenly become ‘the other’. We form an active and vital community of artists dedicated to a new vision of world art.
The core of our curriculum is the relationship between international students and faculty – the community who comprise the IMFA program. Science, economics and technology are also examined in the curriculum as integral to contemporary concepts of art and culture. The IMFA curriculum explores the newly emerging paradigms of relationality, multi-culturalism, social practice and extended media that define the world’s most exciting contemporary art. Faculty and students from around the world bring a new vision to this innovative program.
The mission of International Master of Fine Arts program (IMFA) at China Academy of Art (CAA) is to introduce the world’s most promising young artists to a new world of contemporary art – an art world in which the creative and expressive practices from around the world join together to create art that is as vital and innovative as the contemporary world itself. The ascendency of non-European art and artists has profoundly altered the ways in which young and emerging artists throughout the world must be educated. The advent of digital venues for the dissemination and discussion of new art has also eliminated the nexus between art and nationality. The de-decentralization of the art world has already taken place. In the past 15 years, the East Asian (China, Korea and Japan) art scene has exploded with numerous new major museums of both traditional and contemporary art being built throughout China. Throughout the 20 th Century the world’s most famous and most highly valued artists have been almost exclusively from Europe and America. Today, artists from throughout the world – particularly China – are emerging as the seminal artists of their times. In the past two decades, the world has seen the rapid expansion of art and ideas beyond old boundaries and obsolete cultural constructs. The International MFA (IMFA) program at China Academy of Art has been developed in response to the rapidly increasing globalization of the art world.
