Beyond the Frame: Curating in Context

This self-guided walking exhibition encourages viewers to think actively about the settings in which they experience particular works of art through a walking tour of five selected works from the Cantor's collection. Timelines on each object's identifying label recall the respective periods during which these pieces have been on view here and elsewhere, providing a testament to the artworks’ curatorial pasts and potentials—as well as a new context for considering their significance. Student curator: Stanford undergraduate and Cantor Scholar Margaret Tomaszczuk.
