[Frameworks] MFA

[Tony Conrad]

Hi Carl----------

Our MFA at Buffalo is certainly focused "on individual practice,
conceptualization, experimentation", as we have been for forty years. We're very
diverse -- but also quite small, and tightly-knit, even though we're in the midst
of a big research University. Check us out....
