The chairs were cast-off art, reclaimed as art, available for people to take off the hooks and use. They were there for artist talks. What kind of an art institution is this? It encourages process-driven performances and art projects. It takes the kind of risks that a university art gallery should take.

I immediately recalled a phenomenon I witnessed as a student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). During my time at RISD studying industrial design, I developed relationships with two museums on campus: the Museum of Art and the Nature Lab. The Edna Lawrence Nature Lab was established in 1937, also as a resource for students.

In general, I liked videos made by artists, but some got overly poetic. I appreciated this engineer's experience and this student's experiment , but many of the scientist/educator videos were painfully pedantic , goofy , or even a little creepy (and yes, women can be creepy too ). Music videos. Personal overshare.

Many of them had almost nothing by way of material resources, but they had imagination, and if you have imagination, you can, it turns out, light the dark with all kinds of creative arts. They were using music, dance, poetry, and storytelling, and they were succeeding. BB: Why do you think the arts is such a powerful tool?
