Operated by the curator and art historian James Voorhies, Bureau for Open Culture works to reimagine the art exhibition as a new kind of learning site, exploring the social, economic and political conditions specific to the locations in which it occurs.  As a nomadic institution for contemporary art, Bureau for Open Culture, works to intentionally re-imagine the art exhibition as a new kind of learning site by initiating and cultivating collaborations with art and academic institutions. Voorhies will talk about past, current and future work and ways of operating within a space of uncertainty to form new engagement with art and its institutions.
Bureau for Open Culture comes to the University Museum of Contemporary Art at UMass Amherst (operating for the evening from Room 240 in the Studio Arts Building), through the collaborative efforts of Artists in Context, UCMA, and C3 (creative community collective.)
Location: Room 240, Studio Arts Building, UMass, Amherst
