Onckule (b. 1982, Latvia) is a curator and program director at Kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Riga, Latvia. She was co-commissioner for the 13th Baltic Triennial in 2018 (curated by Vincent Honoré) and a co-commissioner of the Latvian Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale co-organized with Art in General (New York). In May 2019, Onckule received a master of arts (M.A.) degree from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. She is interested in the modes of language, writing, anti-production and notion of retreat, all seen through questioning of the conditions of (visual art) practices.
The School of Art’s M.F.A. in studio arts emphasizes experimentation in the creation of innovative modes of artistic production. We encourage students to expand, cross, invert and transform artistic methods and academic disciplines. The program encourages and supports students as they define and develop new areas of research and practice that challenge conventional notions of art making. The Department of Transmedia offers M.F.A. programs in art photography, art video, computer art and film. Students work among a variety of programs tailoring their studies to specific research concerns. Graduate students are immersed in an intimate and rigorous interdisciplinary course of study that fosters the necessary critical, technical and conceptual tools to create ambitious intelligent work.
