Museums across the country are engaging artists to rethink and enliven the museum experience in new and innovative ways. What is behind this phenomenon? What does the artist’s perspective bring to museum collections, programming, and public spaces?
ARTnews executive editor Robin Cembalest discussed these and other questions with artist Shinique Smith, Minneapolis Institute of Arts curator of contemporary art Elizabeth Armstrong, and Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass at The Corning Museum of Glass, where the energy of artists at work is felt every day through open studios and dynamic demonstrations.
The Corning Museum of Glass is committed to bringing its glass collection alive through visitors' encounters with the artist. Learn more about the Museum programs discussed in "Off the Walls."
