Making [Art] History: Acts, Actions, and Reenactments explores how various individual, collective, and artist-channeled methods of making art have been interwoven with multiple cultural and national histories. These actions have resulted in artworks that both disrupted traditions within and set new directions for art history. At the same time, the artists, their methods, and their artworks have engaged thematically and creatively with significant events and communal issues found in the history of this country and elsewhere.
Visitors to Making [Art] History will gain new insight into the impact of the personal and the collective on art history, as well as on all the other histories through which we understand art and ourselves. In addition to extended label copy for each work of art, other forms of interpretation, including poems, personal perspectives, and fiction, will be provided by campus and community collaborators. Andy Goldsworthy will be included in the exhibition.
