SOCIAL STUDIES
Social Studies turns gallery into workshop-studio for visiting artists. With floors protected by cardboard and with only tools, equipment, art supplies and a few works, a guest artist begins an art-making residency. The space opens not only to allow audience to view the artist at work, but also to invite other artists, art students and faculty, and the community to collaborate to whatever degree they wish — to query the artist. Community engagement, one of the most important university commitments, takes the work and the artist beyond the Museum to whatever location and context the process leads. The first Social Studies project opened in the fall 2007 with Jarbas Lopes from Brazil.
