Public programs are an important part of fulfilling the mission of the Tang. Through lectures, panel discussions, artist demonstrations, and the Dunkerley Dialogue series, the Tang engages its audience with issues brought into view through the museum’s exhibitions.
Dunkerley Dialogues
The Dialogue series, initiated with the museum’s first season in 2000, pairs Skidmore faculty with contemporary artists whose works are on view in the Tang at the time of the Dialogue. Beginning with the fall ’05 season, the series will be named the Dunkerley Dialogues in honor of Michele Dunkerley, a 1980 graduate of Skidmore who has given a generous gift to support the series.
The Dialogue series reflect the Tang's mission as an interdisciplinary art center, linking art with areas of study as diverse as chemistry, dance, history, language, sociology, and more.
Past pairings for the series have included:
• Christian Marclay with Lary Opitz, Associate Professor, Theater
• Martin Kersels with David Vella, Professor, Mathematics
• Annette Lemieux with Joanna Zangrando, Professor, American Studies
• Vik Muniz with Charles Stainback, Dayton Director of the Tang
