university campusThe University: instituting culture, institutional cultureSubmitted by Jillian Sayre on Mon, 2007-11-26 17:44.Class Activity | Pedagogy | sculpture | university campus | visual art
This summer I taught a rhetoric course that focused on the idea of a University.

One of the more interesting discussions in class was one in which we investigated the relationship between art and the university... The University of Texas, our home institution and object of study, has an archive (describing itself as a "world-renowned cultural institution") that not only houses important pieces of visual, textual, and performing art but also has its own galleries to put these objects on display. The building itself was recently renovated, and the atriums converted into "galleries" themselves that display the Center's significant collections on etched glass windows: |
