Material Intelligence Tour with Curator Sarah Anne Carter

Join curator Dr. Sarah Anne Carter on a tour of Material Intelligence. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and explore the materials and methods in the exhibit.

Material Intelligence magazine, published by the Chipstone Foundation, celebrates the human capacity to understand and shape the physical world around us. Inspired by the magazine’s exploration of individual commonplace materials, this exhibition foregrounds two key substances–linen and glass–and invites visitors to experiment with many more. Threads explores the metaphorical vibrancy of linen and other fibers through the work of Ann Coddington. Spheres of Influence reveals how the material possibilities of glass and the embodied skills of glassmakers have shaped intellectual life at UW-Madison. Taken together, these installations reveal the Material Intelligence that connects makers and materials across time and media.

Please meet outside the gallery in the Link for the tour. Space is limited. Registration required.
