A three-channel video installation by Antoni Muntadas addressing the problematic relationship between the production of knowledge and economic power. About Academia addresses the problematic relationship between the production of knowledge and economic power. Upon entering the gallery space, the viewer is confronted by an installation consisting of three video projections that present the most pressing questions concerning the supposed objectivity of academic knowledge by pointing out the corporatization of institutions of higher learning in the United States and the sometimes controversial positions that universities fall into when trying to physically expand amidst disenfranchised communities, as well as falling into possible contradictions with the agendas of university donors. Location: Sert Gallery, Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University, 24 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA
