“What Is An Art Gallery?” – student interactive installation

Posted on October 3, 2012

Run: September 6 – 14

We started this year off by asking students to post questions and answers to the statement, “What is an art gallery?” They literally posted these questions by physically hanging them on a sculpture in the gallery.

Here are some of the posted responses that we hope to address this year:

What makes art interesting?
Why do we enjoy art?
What is the meaning of art?
What is the process to making a piece of art?
Why do artists art?
What makes art beautiful?
Why do we display art?
Why do people go to galleries?
Does the artist always have their audience in mind?
Art process or product?
Who decides what art is?
Are we allowed to only show certain types of art?

You can see photos from the installation on the Beaver Facebook page.
