An Expanded Lens
An Expanded Lens invites viewers to reimagine their relationship to artwork in the Anderson Collection by providing new interpretations of the permanent collection through historic arrangements and contemporary pairings on loan from the Anderson family.
This exhibition showcases the voices and curatorial collaboration of Stanford art history PhD candidates Emily Chun, Christian Gonzalez Ho, and Dejan Vasic. These students took personal approaches to arranging and interpreting artworks based on themes that include perception, geographic influence, and questions of meaning and embodiment. Contemporary loans installed alongside permanent collection works invite discovery and include painting, sculpture, and video by Tauba Auerbach, Nick Cave, Mary Corse, Frederick Eversely, Liam Everett, Claire Falkenstein, Julie Mehretu, Yvonne Jacquette, Ed Ruscha. The exhibition also showcases significant influences on the formation of the Anderson Collection from luminaries such as scholar William Rubin of NY MoMA, who provided the Andersons with a model for living with art and gallerist David McKee, who introduced the family to groundbreaking contemporary artists.
An Expanded Lens centers the museum as a home for living with art and invites the community to consider the meaning-making capacity of the collection and explore the space by experiencing this constellation of artwork anew. Leave what you might 鈥渒now鈥 at the door and allow your senses to direct your experiences of these spatial and sensorial dialogues.
