Exhibition Overview
The exhibition’s title is intentionally lowercase and plural to emphasize that knowledge does not only happen in scholarly publications, laboratories, and lecture halls. Creating art can also be a form of research that contributes to many fields of inquiry. In this spirit, the Spencer Museum of Art has commissioned four contemporary artists to make work that corresponds to four different areas of research supported by its Integrated Arts Research Initiative (IARI): data visualization, immigration, social histories, and ecologies, all broadly conceived. The exhibiting artists who have made work in conversation with these areas of research are Assaf Evron, Danielle Roney, Fatimah Tuggar, and Andrew Yang. This exhibition rethinks the academic museum as an active participant in the university’s research ecology.
