“Expanding the Field: Art, Artists, Education, and the Museum in the New Century”
Roundtable discussion with professionals in art, education, art theory and
history, and museums; with respondent essays by three representative field
professionals (educator, artist, museum director)
Addressing the evolution of the historic service of the Museum as artist training
ground to its current focus on educating the public. What expanded role might
museums play in educating the artist? Museums house the art works and – in
contemporary practice – host production, making museums ideals laboratories
for cultivating artists. How might art schools and museums recuperate and
revitalize their historic reciprocity? | sv |

| art.description.project | • Project History and Description
Artistic inquiry first drew me to the university setting at the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and
Technology, Beaverton, in 2002 under the auspices of the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art [PICA]
artist residency program. I have since realized eleven university-based projects, each of which has been
exhibited nationally or internationally. In process, I have liaised and collaborated with faculty and students
across a broad array of university disciplines, from art and architecture to theoretical physics and
mechanical engineering.
Recent university-based projects include the “Rammed Earth Sculpture Garden” (2009), a large-scale
outdoor installation produced for my solo exhibition at the Museum of Sketches, Archives of Public Art,
Lund University, in collaboration with 39 students from the Lund University School of Architecture. Three
of these students continued with me to my most recent commission at MASS MoCA, North Adams,
Massachusetts, working on site for two summers with funding provided by the Swedish government and
private Swedish foundations. Joined by another Swedish student from Chalmers University of Technology,
Gothenburg, an alum of my 2010 Valand summer course, a brilliant force of international students –
converging from Lund, Cambridge (MIT), Gothenburg, and Providence (RISD) – played a vital role in
making possible the ambitious scope of the MASS MoCA project against dark odds of limited funding and
resources.
“The Expanded Field,” a large-scale public artwork commissioned by MASS MoCA, opened September
25, 2011. A site-specific installation, “The Expanded Field” remediates and integrates 1.5 derelict acres of
the Museum’s industrial campus in seven discrete projects, including sculpture, landscape, painting,
performance, and sound. The residual preparatory work for the project comprises a significant archive of
mixed-media models and works on paper.
I conducted research for “The Expanded Field” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge,
where I have held artist appointments since 2007. Under the auspices of MIT’s Undergraduate Research
Opportunity Program [UROP], I work closely with undergraduates in the arts and sciences in the
development and production of artworks, while mentoring students with wide-ranging career goals in art,
architecture, engineering, science, and government. | sv |
