Mini College: Politics as Symbol

Working with the Spencer Museum’s curatorial staff, Dr. Loomis has put together a show that will go on exhibition in July 2012. This mini-course will explore the concept for this show (displayed during the presidential campaign), the selection of the art works, and the development of the ancillary material. Attendees will get a preview of the show, as well as an exploration of how the art works relate to politics in a host of ways and are encouraged to express their own opinions about the works and their thoughts on the relationship between art and politics.
