Installation: Activation and Artmaking
Kasser Family Exhibition Space
Paper sculptures created and installed by Teachers College students in A&H 4860, Cross Cultural Conversations in the Arts, are currently on display in the Kasser Family Exhibition Space. The artwork was part of Conversations Across Cultures, a three-day convening of artists, educators, researchers, and the broader cultural community at Teachers College, organized by the Program in Art and Art Education.
The symposium, Art Today: Challenging Times explored the power of art to pose questions of today, catalyze cross-cultural dialogue, and shape community connection via two days of thoughtful participation. The final event of the conference was a community activation and artmaking lab in the atrium of the Gottesman Libraries.
Mounted on the columns, doors, and railings, the white paper sculptures, complete with origami elements, inspire appreciation for nature, growth, connection, and art. Look and see within -- an exquisite array of flowers, birds, snowflakes, sand dollars, webs, nests, bows, ribbons, even perhaps a wedding dress train.
