The Interventionists: Art In The Social Sphere
In collaboration with SPURSE, MASS MOCA, Northampton, Massachusetts, 2004. Part of The Interventionists: Art In The Social Sphere curated by Nato Thompson.
The Experimental University: Artists in this section used anthropology, biology, geography, and other scientific disciplines for artistic or political purposes, rather than for scientific goals. By taking experiments out of the laboratory and placing them in new contexts within the museum or on the sidewalk, these artists seek to give viewers access to new information, and the capacity to reach their own conclusions about technical or environmental matters that might otherwise seem remote and untouchable. Artists included: 16 Beaver, Critical Art Ensemble with Beatriz de Costa, Tana Hargest, J. Morgan Puett, Spurse, subRosa, and The Atlas Group.
