In this last public gallery talk before the exhibition closes on December 30, the curators of Object Lessons reflect on their collaboration, their artistic and historical research, and their curatorial vision. The conversation will center on Richard Barnes’ commissioned artworks of museum spaces and specimens. We are interested in exploring the dialogue they open up with the objects on display. How do art, science, and history speak to each other in the gallery, and how do their languages differ?
The conversation will be moderated by Kristin Hass, Associate Professor of American Culture and Faculty Coordinator of the Humanities Collaboratory.
