The Visual Arts Program faculty was an exceptionally powerful group of thinkers and practitioners – the shared and singular hub of the life and development of this show’s members as student artists.  

​

The outstanding feature of this Reunions show is the scope and depth of its diverse collection, drawn from that original common experience.

 

Additionally, 185 Nassau Street was the birthplace of what continues to be one of art's most important journals, October, imagined in 1975 by faculty members Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, Lucio Pozzi, and then former faculty member Rosalind Krauss, with historian Annette Michelson. 

 

The following categories are only a guide to the faculty's composition and do not represent any exclusive boundaries of the work of any faculty member. Guest faculty (short term or special engagement) are asterisked.
