Episode Synopsis

Amie Esslinger’s site-specific installation Holding Impact is currently on display in Cohen Memorial Hall on the campus of Vanderbilt University. In this program we hear from Amie and from Amanda Hellman, the director of Vanderbilt’s Art Gallery, about Amie’s artistic process, the probing questions Amie’s work asks about the relation of contemporary art and advanced science, the unique opportunities afforded to university art museums to incite research and curiosity, and the pleasures second graders bring to art venues.  __________________AoI Special Editions present thought-provoking conversations about the arts as transformative media of inquiry, the role of art within the landscapes of higher education, and the interplay between artistic research, climate science, and technology development.For more information visit: https://artofinterference.com/For more information visit: https://artofinterference.com/
