Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Theatre Arts-Arts Administration.
In the spring of 2007, I approached Professor Durand Pope, then Director of the Arts Administration Program at The University of Akron, about the possibility of curating an exhibition of contemporary art, artists, and ideas as a project thesis towards the fulfillment of the degree for a Masters of Arts in Arts Administration at The University of Akron. Professor Pope agreed to the project, with the contingency that a formal research document would detail some aspect of the exhibition. The proposed exhibition was a collaborative effort between myself and my mentor, colleague, and friend, Dr. Kevin Concannon. Dr. Concannon, at this time, was a tenured associate professor of Art History in the Myers School of Art, at The University of Akron. The exhibition, titled AGENCY: Art and Advertising, was the result of almost three decades of research by Concannon, as well as my own, and was presented at the John J. McDonough Museum of Art, a Center for Contemporary Ideas, Art, Education, and Community, located on the campus of Youngstown State University, in Youngtown, Ohio. AGENCY: Art and Advertising was on view in the galleries at the McDonough Museum between 19 September and 8 November 2008. Sited at six locations within the communities adjacent to the McDonough Museum was the artwork Untitled (The New Plan), an outdoor billboard installation by the artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres. This paper acts as an addendum to the project thesis that chronicles the inspiration behind and thought process around the choice of this work and its subsequent installation and placement as a featured component of the exhibition AGENCY: Art and Advertising
