At the Christian Petersen Art Museum
Reiman Gallery, 0003 Morrill Hall
Monday, August 21 - Friday, December 15, 2023
The University Museums Art on Campus Collection is a unique example of a collection of public works of art that are site specific and publicly accessible. The process of commissioning these works of art from the perspective of the museum, the intricacies of artists working with the campus community, and building collaborative relationships to care for this collection will be explored in this exhibition. These processes will be described through the connection with Tom Stancliffe’s varied examples of objects in the Art on Campus Collection over the years, as well as his connection to the University of Northern Iowa’s Public Art Incubator in their work to fabricate and conserve works of art in the Iowa State University Museums collection.
