- Abstract
This article focuses on interventions created by graduate students in response to the University of Arizona Museum of Art’s exhibition The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation. Students in an art and visual culture education course designed and implemented three interventions focused on food justice, class, and economics that attended to unexplored themes in the exhibition. Focusing on materials as ingredients, soundscapes, and interrogating food culture, students developed alternate ways for visitors to interact with works of art that went beyond building on interpretations constructed by the curator. In doing so, they employed the concept of the ignorant museum in their design and implementation (Jung, 2010; Sitzia, 2018), based on theories presented in Jacque Ranciére’s The ignorant schoolmaster (1991) that promote intellectual freedom through equality. Students also utilized their university art museum as a site to explore visual culture, interrogate institutional systems, and experiment through collaboration.
