NEXT at the Corcoran
Class of 2013
April 6–May 19

This annual festival celebrates work by the graduating students of the Corcoran College of Art + Design. NEXT includes both an exhibition of the thesis work of the Bachelor of Fine Arts class of 2013 and a showcase of the Bachelors and Masters of Arts degree programs at the Corcoran. Visitors to NEXT are welcome to observe thesis critiques—discussions between the artists and their peers and instructors—and gain insights into the artistic process.

Please note that there is no elevator access to the Rotunda Gallery, where some of the MA work is displayed.


NEXT at the Corcoran is made possible by Behance.

Design Lab

Design Lab offers a select group of undergraduate students at the Corcoran College of Art + Design a unique opportunity to design the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design NEXT at the Corcoran brand identity and produce the collateral for the exhibition. Undergraduates in this two-semester course serve as in-house junior designers, creating a suite of identity collateral including the print material, exhibition graphics, and digital media (mobile, web, and motion graphics).

Maria Habib, Senior Director of the Corcoran's Office of Design and Design Lab instructor, says, “The course, like NEXT itself, is a true collaboration between the Gallery and the College." The Design Lab team for 2013 includes James Bonilla, Razan Khashoggi, Anh Le, Martin Nera, Lauren Russell, Navy Sisomphou, and Carissa Sudjono—all student designers currently in their junior year. The team is managed by senior design students, Allison Nambo and Maribel O. Gray, who took part in Design Lab last year.

Design Lab would like to thank Davide Prete, Adjunct Professor of Sculpture, and his sculpture team for their assistance in building the sculptural elements for Next at the Corcoran. The team included Ayobami Adeyemob, Sooho Cho, James Cole, Lorenzo Cardim DeAlmeida, Thomas Pullin, Micah Myerov, Moudy Hamo, and Melinda Merinsky (Sculpture Shop Manager).

The “Multifacets” concept for this year's NEXT at the Corcoran exhibition expresses how different aspects of our community are unified as “One Corcoran.” The Design Lab team collaborates with Corcoran staff, faculty, and fellow students to realize the concept across media and into the galleries.
