20/21 Gallery – Conversation

On the south wall of the 20/21 gallery we bring together a group of objects focused on a single topic of conversation. Among these objects we hope you will hear not only the voices of individual artists and interpreters, but also enter into the discussion with your own thoughts and questions. Just as conversations move fluidly from one topic to the next, so too will this installation change with relative frequency.

We invite you to visit often, mine the collection, and participate in the conversation.

Current Conversation: Place – Kansas

These eight conversations present the work of artists who engage Kansas in their creative process. Individuals from the KU and Lawrence communities have responded to each artist, and to his or her work.

We invite you to reflect on these conversations and to engage in them yourself. What are your own conversations with the place called Kansas?
