Lecture: Etruscan Art Objects and Contemporary Sculptures

Reception and Perception: How Staging of Etruscan Art Objects Alongside Contemporary Artist Giuseppe Penone's Sculptures can Prompt Bi-directional Dialogues.

Place can shape our conversations, especially if one can step inside and away from the every day to be immersed in a container of a museum space built underground mimicking an ancient hypogeum. Does this place help to aid a viewer's perception and reception? Can it create a site of cultural heritage suspended in time? This talk considers the dialogues prompted from the ancient and contemporary aesthetic objects themselves, conversations despite distance and matter. The past to the present and the present to the future. This is a working lecture which is part of Shelby Morgan's thesis project that is currently underway here in PSU's Honors College.
