Sensory perception is a complex combination of physiological, psychological, cultural, social, and political factors. As a result, perception has a history: different groups of people in different times and places have, quite literally, perceived the world in very different ways.
This exhibition explores the history of perception through the lens of visual. Drawn from the Smart Museum’s collection, the works on view illustrate a spectrum of perceptual interests— from social consequences to optical dimensions. As part of the class, students will write accompanying label texts for the exhibition and explore qualities of perception through performance and other experiences.
