The Gallery of Crossed Destinies

Dates
4/7/11 - 12/4/11
Guest Curators

Chad Therrien, Florist, Mt. Williams Greenhouses

9th grade students at Mt. Greylock Regional High School

Jenny Gersten, Artistic Director, Williamstown Theatre Festival

Aaron Kelton, Head Football Coach, Williams College

The exhibition is part of the museum’s reinstallation project, Reflections on a Museum, which looks at “the museum” as its subject. In The Gallery of Crossed Destinies, people and perspectives—not the artworks—change.  Four individuals from the community have been invited to reinstall the same small “collection” of 25 objects into their own distinct exhibitions. In this way, The Gallery of Crossed Destinies is a microcosm of the entire collection reinstallation and re-presentation project, examining the process by which objects are arranged and exhibited in a museum setting.
