Exhibition

20/21

Susan Earle, curator

Gallery 405, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

The 20/21 Gallery (which is short for 20th Century and 21st Century) is designed as a project in process. It is a space in which to explore new ideas, rethink old assumptions, experiment with emerging technologies, discover the connections of historic objects to contemporary lives, and imagine possibilities for the future.
