Join us as John Beckman (Skidmore College BA, ’94, theatrical design and art history), Director of Exhibit Design and Development at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, will discuss how sound and space operate in creating museum exhibitions.

This event is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

This talk is organized by the John B. Moore Documentary Studies Collaborative (MDOCS) at Skidmore College as part of its second annual Storytellers’ Institute’s Festosium. This year documentary makers who explore the theme of Space and Place through film, sound, interactive media, museum curation, scholarship, etc. connect with Skidmore and community members during the weekend-long event. Join an international group of storytellers to explore these questions in events including film screenings, audio experiences, dialogues, and star gazing. See here for more information on all of the events taking place at various locations on the Skidmore campus from June 8-12.
