HINDSIGHT INSIGHT 5.0
University of New Mexico Art Museum
August 23 - December 7, 2024
Hindsight Insight 5.0 is the final installment of the UNM Art Museum’s hybrid project and exhibition space devoted to complicating existing narratives about racism, colonialism, and gender stereotypes while de-centering curatorial authority and institutional voice.
Hindsight Insight 5.0 concludes the exhibition series by imagining the galleries as a laboratory, demonstrating how research and experimentation are put into action through projects at the intersection of art and science.
Created and curated by museum staff and collaborators, the exhibition features new artwork by five contemporary artists affiliated with the University of New Mexico and one object from the museum’s permanent collection: a nineteenth century album of microscopic photographs of the natural world.
“The intention behind this ongoing experimental project is to honor and engage student and faculty perspectives, interests, and concerns to make art relevant and alive for the UNM Art Museum’s core audience. From Spring 2023 through Fall 2024, the museum staff has developed multiple iterations that engage the university community to generate critical dialogue that resists static presentation and fixed interpretations.” - Mary Statzer
