November 2018, New York, NY—School of Visual Arts (SVA) is pleased to present a new roster of talented artists at PULSE Miami Beach Art Fair (Booth S-110). This presentation will mark the College’s fourth consecutive year participating at PULSE and the College’s 11th year presenting artists during Art Basel, Miami’s premier art week.
“We’re thrilled to return to PULSE with new artists that represent the high caliber of talent of SVA alumni and highlight the College’s commitment to educating the next generation of innovative creators and thinkers,” says booth curator and SVA External Relations project manager Dan Halm. “The opportunity to introduce SVA’s emerging artists to PULSE’s international arts community is one that can set the trajectory of their careers.”
The featured artists, all members of the class of 2018, are Mengfan Bai (MFA Fine Arts), Rosie Brock (BFA Photography and Video), Casanova Cabrera (BFA Photography and Video), Annie Kim (BFA Illustration), Joy Li (MPS Digital Photography), Pedro Mesa (MFA Fine Arts), Juliette Sardou (BFA Fine Arts), Christopher Thixton (BFA Fine Arts) and Regina Viqueira (MFA Fine Arts). These artists-to-watch explore figuration, abstraction and conceptual art through a range of mediums including photography, sculpture, drawing and painting to underscore themes of personal identity, the world at large, transmutation and the pressures of being perfect for social media.
SVA’s participation at PULSE is an example of the College’s dedication to supporting artists beyond the classroom. Artists that have shown during the College’s annual presentation in Miami have garnered gallery representation, commissions for public artworks and other opportunities to sustain their practice.
