Engaging the Margins

Engaging the Margins presents the work of contemporary artists committed to experimenting in the marginal areas where artmaking, practice-based research, and scholarship intersect. Some of the selected artists stage their work in laboratory settings, some in studios, and some in wild or abandoned landscapes, but all interrogate the ways in which art is positioned in a culture that continues to marginalize artists working across disciplinary boundaries. The artists were among those featured in Jackson and LaFarge's anthology Experimental Practices in Interdisciplinary Art: Engaging the Margins (Brill, 2024), which will launch alongside the exhibition.
