A native o Turkey, Baris Gokturk describes his experience at Parsons as
cosmopolitan and international. I not only met people rom all over the
world but also worked with them in my classes. Baris explored a number
o areas o design beore deciding that ne arts is his true passion. He
says, The aculty was so supportive when I switched rom Illustration
to Integrated Design Curriculum and then to Fine Arts. By allowing me
to try dierent elds, they helped me realize that what I really want to do
is paint.
Today painting is exactly what Baris does. For his junior-year intern-
ship, a standard part o the Fine Arts program, Baris worked with
sculptor Jeanne Silverthorne. He currently works with painter Fabian
Marcaccio while studying or his MFA in painting. I am working on a
series o paintings about the intangibility o inormation versus
knowledge. In my paintings, I work with sets o words whose meaning
is becoming more and more ambiguous because o overuse and deliber-
ate political misuse. Baris uses images, ound mainly through Google,
to create collages representing reconsidered meanings o the words.
I aim or a chewed-up, worn-o pictorial zone in which the mean-
ing is stripped o the wo rd, the image is stripped o meaning, painting
is stripped o painting, and so on. This way, every aspect o the work
becomes paradoxical yet its raison detre becomes meaningul.

Michael Hoefers interests range rom painting to jewelry making.
He says, I came to Parsons as a Fine Arts student because it is kno wn
not only or design but or social responsibility as well. I switched to
Product Design because it is anti-elitist. The things we design are useul
to everyone.
Michaels thesis project, bounce Baby Sign Products, refects
both his commitment to social responsibility and his knowledge o
product design. The project has special personal signicance or
Michael, the son o dea parents. He explains, Many dea children have
hearing parents who only know how to communicate orally. Parents
dont learn sign language because it is oreign and they are given only an
institutional approach to it. I w anted to take everyday necessities and
toys, such as baby blankets and building blocks, and add American Sign
Language and illustrations to them to introdu ce sign language to
parents and to give both hearing and nonhearing children a method o
preverbal communication.

For Justin Shoji, the Design and Management program was ideal,
oering him fuency in both the business and ashion worlds. I can
crunch numbers and analyze spreadsheets, and I also appreciate
creativity and design concepts. Although Justin developed many o
these skills in the classroom, his experiences as an intern proved equally
important in helping him choose a career.
As a reshman and s ophomore, Justin interned at Fashion File TV,
where he worked on bro adcasts o events during New York Fashion
Week. He also explored the world o event planning as an intern at Mark
Stephen Enterprises. But Justins avorite internship, arranged with help
rom Parsons instructor Steve Lindner, was at Diesel. There he joined
the womens wholesale group and gained incomparable hands-on
experience. I was able to assist in appointments with buyers and attend
trade shows. Theres nothing better than seeing rsthand how things
operate. Ater graduating, Justin parlayed this internship into a
ull-time job, and today he is happily employed as a customer service
representative or Diesel.

Design and Technology
I am interested in developing educational structures that allow students
to eel ree and to understand their own power and possibilities, says
Integrated Design Curriculum instructor Pascale Gatzen. In her courses,
Gatzen ensures that her students have abundant opportunities to grow
not only as designers but also as individuals. I want my students to test
the intersection between ashion and reality. Do their designs work?
How do people react to the clothing they have made? Testing, making,
and doing are very important. We perorm in our clothes. I want students
to be present, to grow with their work as human beings.
Gatzen believes that actually making clothing is essential or
students training to become ashion designers. In the core Integrated
Fashion Curriculum class, taken by sophomores in the all, students
develop a creative and critical approach to ashion. They learn by
experimenting and playing with clothes that are worn in everyday lie.
By exploring things that attract them culturally or historically, or
example, students make garments or themselves once a week.
Through a collaborative project between New School students and
Ajkema Loya, a womens cooperative in Guatemala, Gatzen has taken
her approach to both ashion and education abroad. The students sharetheir knowledge o business, marketing, and product design with the
Guatemalan women. In return, the Guatemalan women teach the stu-
dents beading, dyeing threads, pattern making, and weaving. The
goal is or the collective to create products o their choosing and to
operate without external support.

Duncan Smith came to Parsons to study design and liberal arts. As a
graduating senior, he has ullled his goal, earning a combined degree
in Writing and Integrated Design Curriculum. Beautiully rendered
illustrations inormed by ancient Mexican art spill rom the pages o his
thesis project, a short graphic novel based on the true story o a Mexican
worker in New York City. Duncan explains the inspiration or this project:
In my rst year, I took Community Organizing at Eugene Lang College
as part o my BA studies in the dual degree program, and I became
entwined with a nonprot group dedicated to workers rights. Thats
where I met Sergio, and I modeled the main character in my graphic
novel ater him. Still committed to promoting workers rights, Duncan
continued working with the group ater the class ended. He hopes that
his thesis project will advance this cause by shedding light on the
working Mexican population in New York, which is oten invisible.
Even with his diploma in hand, Duncan will have no time to relax: He
has received a contract to write and illus trate a childrens book about the
experiences o two Mexican cousins, one living in New York City and the
other living in Mexico.
Duncan says one o the great things about Parsons is that a loto proessors are people in the eld right now. He plans to continue
writing and illustrating, looking orward to becoming one o their peers.

Maya Sariahmed says she came to Parsons by accident. I wasnt
considering art school. I wanted to go to a liberal arts college and get a
well-rounded education. I looked into Parsons out o curiosity, and when
I visited the Communication Design department, my decision was made;
there was something pragmatic that appealed to me and my parents, and
the energy o the sta was wonderul.
Ater two years in the program, Maya knows that her decision was
the right one. I love the broad curriculum; theres so much I can d o. I
can study book or publication design, motion or spatial graphics, or
example. I love art but dont want to be pushing a portolio in Chelsea.
Communication Design is a little more practical, but its wonderu l or
whimsical, collaborative, crazy, experimental projects, too.
Maya is particularly happy studying in New York City. Everything
that happens in the art world seems to nd its roots here, w hether youre
in Dumbo investigating the Puppet Lab, strolling through the labyrinth
o photo and ne art galleries in Chelsea, enjoying the murals in Harlem,
or perusing the works o the masters in some o the worlds greatest
museums. Art is absolutely everywhere.
