Exhibition
The Art of Discovery
A Multidisciplinary Group Exhibition of 2016-2017 Radcliffe Institute Fellows
At the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, art is integrated with other forms of study, and embedded deep in our programming. Each year, fellows pursue individual projects in a community dedicated to inquiry across the arts, sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The Art of Discovery introduces viewers to the bold work of members of our 2016–2017 cohort of fellows, which transcends the fault lines of standard academic disciplines to explore complex topics, and reveal new insights about their own fields of study.
Visitors will encounter an artist manifesto delivered to the United Nations by performance artist Tania Bruguera, fences sculpted by visual artist A.K. Burns, and video by the filmmaker Lamia Joreige. The multidisciplinary exhibition will also feature images of the Milky Way and black holes, visualizations of mathematical probability rendered in everyday shapes, poems in which death and pop culture intersect, and colorful structures of bone cells.
