SUMMARY:MSU Museum Director's Lecture
DESCRIPTION:
 "Lives of the Shadow: Between Science and Art"\n
 \n
 Museums 
 are often celebrated as sites of 
 illumination, but they also evoke all manner 
 of shadows, which, paradoxically, give rise to 
 new forms of knowledge and insight.  \n
 \n
 In 
 his 2019 Annual Lecture, MSU Museum Director 
 Mark Auslander explores the complex meanings 
 of interrupted streams of light in science, 
 literature, philosophy, and art. Cases discussed 
 include Johannes Vermeer's painting "A Woman 
 Holding a Balance" (c. 1664), Tanizaki's 
 "In Praise of Shadows," Ursula Le Guin's "A Wizard 
 of Earthsea," the silhouette art work of 
 Kara Walker,  and the cast shadow image at 
 the conclusion of the MSU Museum's "Finding our 
 Voice" exhibition.\n
 \n
 What lessons might this 
 important "shadow work" have for the future 
 of museums, including our forthcoming "Science 
 on a Sphere" installation here at the MSU 
 Museum?\n
