DESCRIPTION:Lisa Corrin will present in the\nMuseum Conversations Seminar o
 n Tuesday\, November 7\, at 6 pm. Her talk is\nentitled 'The University Ar
 t Museum as a 'State of Mind.''\n\nSince 2012\, The Block Museum\nof Art a
 t Northwestern University has been developing a new model for how a\ncampu
 s art museum “behaves” within the context of a research university.\nExhib
 iting art across time and cultures\, its approach involves placing art at
 \nthe intersection of many fields of study to expand the possibilities for
 \ninnovation\, creativity\, and reinterpretation. At the Block experiences
  of art\nare a springboard for discussion of issues and ideas in its schoo
 ls of law\,\nmedicine\, engineering\, communications\, journalism and\, of
  course\, arts and\nsciences. With the addition of a curator of public pra
 ctice\, the Block’s reach\nextends far beyond its galleries through the po
 ssibility of  embedding\nartists and engagement programs in any Northweste
 rn campus site—from classrooms\nto laboratories to practice halls and play
 ing fields. With an emphasis on\nserving as a campus collaborator and conv
 ener\, the Block has also become a\ncatalyst for new forms of pedagogy. Fi
 nally\, in keeping with a university’s\ncore value of critical inquiry\, t
 he Block exhibitions and programs take on bold\,\nbig world topics and do 
 not shy away from opportunities to generate dialogue\nbetween the campus a
 nd its surrounding communities. As a result\, while the\nBlock is small in
  size\, it is having an outsized impact on teaching\, learning\,\nresearch
 \, and town-gown relations. This talk will consider how a campus museum\nw
 hose identity  grows out of the DNA of a particular university and which\n
 leverages its braintrust—its faculty\, students and its libraries—can help
  to\ntransform the identity and culture of its parent institution. \n\nLis
 a\nCorrin is the Ellen Philips Katz Director of The Mary and Leigh Block M
 useum of\nArt at Northwestern University. Her previous positions include D
 irector\,\nWilliams College Museum of Art\, Deputy Director of Art/Curator
  of Modern and\nContemporary Art at the Seattle Art Museum\, where she was
  the artistic lead for\nits new waterfront Olympic Sculpture Park\, Chief 
 Curator at the Serpentine\nGallery in London\, and Assistant Director/Cura
 tor of The Contemporary in\nBaltimore. She has published widely on contemp
 orary art\, public art\, and\ncritical museology. Her book Mining the\nMus
 eum: An Installation by Fred Wilson was given the George Wittenborn\nAward
  by the North America Libraries Association in 1994. She has written\nexte
 nsively on Mark Dion’s work including contributing to Phaidon’s monograph
 \non the artist. Most recently she was co-curator of A Feast of Astonishme
 nts: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde\,\n1960s–1980s.
