In this catalog we share with you archival imagery, selected profiles of alumni and founding faculty, a glossary of SIM vernacular, and reprinted texts about the Studio for Interrelated Media at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. We hope this book gives you a proximate experience of sifting though the SIM Archive - a room full of acid-free boxes and a terabyte of digital files - discovering the themes and individuals that definethe first half century of SIM. We've organized this book to highlight SIM's grounding in Concept Art, the interconnectedness of Pedagogy and Community in the program, curricular threads exploring Media and Technology, Music and Sound, Performance and the Body, and the art of event production evident in the student-driven Eventworks Festival and the Godine Family Gallery. While it took us a few years to publish, this catalog arrives just in time to celebrate the Massachusetts College of Art and Design's 150th year since its founding. The Since 1873, MassArt has built a legacy of leadership as the first freestanding public college of art and design in the country, and the nation's first art school to grant a degree.
