The faculty experience Ohio State faculty are regularly called upon to give talks or teach mini-courses in conjunction with performances and exhibits. They also are asked to curate shows, perform and conduct research at the Wexner Center. Because of our location, we're reminded of that every day. They are very supportive of us. A number of faculty here have had showings over there.
Many faculty take advantage of research opportunities.
For example, Bebe Miller's visit last year prompted ongoing research in the Department of Dance. We've built a software shell and are using Bebe's work as a prototype. Others, like Green in the Department of Art History, use the work shown in the galleries as inspiration for their own work. I've had several things published inspired by programs at the Wexner Center. Some literally about exhibits, others about artists, painters or sculptures.
