This fall 2019, the Spencer Museum’s Integrated Arts Research Initiative (IARI) explores what it means to do the work of social history. This inquiry is reflected through exhibitions in the main galleries with Larry Schwarm: Kansas Farmers; The Ties That Bind: Haiti, the United States, and the Art of Ulrick Jean-Pierre in Comparative Perspective; and Passage. Along with Ulrick Jean-Pierre, artists Adrian Stimson and Tina Takemoto will be in residence. These two cases contain objects selected by Stimson and Takemoto from the Spencer Museum’s permanent collection with guidance from our curatorial team. On the adjacent wall, we present one video work by each of them. They will be presenting their work during our week of inquiry.
