The ultimate road trip—to a thousand destinations, for one unforgettable exhibition. In 2013, Bacigalupi and Alligood hit the road to investigate what’s happening in American art today. Over the course of a year, they logged more than 100,000 miles, crisscrossing the United States to visit nearly 1,000 artists, and ultimately selecting some 100 for inclusion in the exhibition: State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now. In this special Spotlight Lecture prior to the exhibition’s national debut at Crystal Bridges, Bacigalupi and Alligood will share tales from the road and offer insights into curating an exhibition of this magnitude. Hear about the behind-the-scenes process of putting together State of the Art, and join us in this unprecedented exploration of the power of today’s American art.
