In spring 2016, our first SlowBurn class culminated with the opening of do it at the Ulrich Museum. Concepts in Creative Industries: Curation and Installation of do it was an unprecedented collaboration between ADCI and the Ulrich.
Taught by Brittany Lockard, assistant professor of art history, the six-credit-hour
class spanned the fall and spring semesters. The additional time afforded to SlowBurn
classes makes larger projects such as this one possible.
Shaleh Ake, Jillian Clough, Thien Doan, Anne Edwards, Alex Long and Emily Loy (collectively
known as Team Awesome) are the six incredible students who saw this project from beginning
to end. Over the course of the year, the students took on the roles of curators, artists,
preparators, exhibition designers, event planners and marketers. Almost every aspect
of this exhibition was created, fulfilled, and experienced by the students, who worked
closely with Ulrich staff.
do it is on view at the Ulrich Museum of Art from April 23–August 28, 2016.
About do it:

Perpetual and ICI’s International Forum and Board of Trustees. The Ulrich presentation
