Teaching Gallery: Voicing America
Gallery 319, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

Voicing America takes as its premise the idea that poetry moves through space and time; poetry is visual, aural and oral; and that visual artists are poets. In dialogue with works from the Spencer Museum collection, the exhibition features photographs by Dr. C.B. Claiborne of Texas Southern University.
