Where an artwork is displayed in a museum can reveal important context and new perspectives. In this talk, explore three contemporary works that were made by living artists—but are exhibited outside the 21st century gallery. Examine why these works are placed in these settings and uncover cross-cultural connections that can illuminate the contemporary artist’s motivations.
