ART MUSEUM REFLECTS NEW VALUES
The ASU Art Museum has announced three new initiatives - Global Arizona, InterLab and Moving Targets - that underscore the Museum's vision to serve as a laboratory for thinking about and enjoying art in innovative ways.
The museum's new initiatives are:
Global Arizona - This addresses the international scope of Phoenix. The museum's partnerships in Cuba, Brazil and Argentina are a priority, recognizing that our communities are more connected each day - and that we can learn from other perspectives. The initiative will include Social Studies, an artist residency program that will turn an ASU Art Museum gallery into a workshop-studio for the visiting artist. The first annual Social Studies project will open this fall with Jarbas Lopes from Brazil.
Moving Targets - This presents the role of new media in the arts - an area in which the ASU Art Museum has a long history. This initiative will expand into new territory, not only through presentation of works in new media, but in new systems for delivery of information to the museum's audiences.
InterLab - This is a transdisciplinary program that spans the entire university, inviting faculty and graduate students to collaborate to bring multiple points of view to an idea that is expressed through works of art shown in the context of other materials from various intellectual fields. The program explores the ways in which people holding diverent points of view can engage in dynamic dialogue to create new ways of seeing and thinking.
