The Anderson Gallery will open a major new exhibition this month titled “Are We Global Yet? The Art and Politics of Public Space (including the virtual),” curated by professor Lenore Metrick-Chen and students from her curatorial capstone seminar.

The exhibition, which runs Friday, Nov. 13, through Feb. 12, 2016, brings together historical maps, student collaborations with homeless individuals in the community, and contemporary artwork from more than 15 artists to ask the question, “Are we global yet?” An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on November 13; in addition, the Anderson Gallery will host a free public symposium titled “Ethics of New Media” on Sunday, Nov. 15. In January, an augmented reality layer will add yet another dimension to the gallery. Learn more about the exhibit and events in the Drake Newsroom.
