5 Minutes: Interviews with Artists by MFA Candidates

“5 Minutes” is a limited-run print publication of quick, informal conversations between graduate students and visitors to the Department of Art at the University of Oregon. The UO Art MFA program prides itself on interdisciplinarity and the department invites a wide range of artists to lecture on their work and ideas for the Visiting Artist Lecture Series, representing some of the most innovative and influential voices in art today.

Conversations between students and visitors often cross-pollinate media and conceptual concerns, while raising questions relevant to artists at the beginning of their careers. Conversations are disseminated in print to engage the university-at-large and communities beyond Eugene, Oregon and are published by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research, University of Oregon.

“5 Minutes” is a research initiative launched by Christopher Michlig and Wendy Heldmann with students in 2014-15, with design and typography by FISK Projects, printed by Brown Printing, Inc. and published by The Department of Art and The Center for Art Research.
