OVERVIEW

Art in Context: Art, Architecture, and the Middle Landscape is the latest in a series of symposia presented by The Chinati Foundation. Since 1995, Chinati has organized six symposia—each one focused on a particular aspect of the museum’s mission or collection and documented in an accompanying publication that includes essays and edited transcriptions of lectures and conversations. The symposium will investigate art and architecture practices in socially, politically, and ecologically turbulent times, while imagining productive and sustainable futures of maintenance and repair, adaptive reuse, and environmental conservation.
