In conjunction with Erin Johnson: The Measure is Something Else and to further disseminate Johnson’s work, the Athenaeum will host a public symposium to close the exhibition, featuring a Visiting Artist keynote lecture with the artist and debut of Johnson’s new work. Symposium details TBA

Over the course of the exhibition, Johnson will develop a new artwork and associated programming in collaboration with multiple University of Georgia units filmed on Georgia’s Ossabaw Island with the Ossabaw Island Artist in Residence Program. This new commission will further position the exhibition as a pedagogical site—an architecture in itself—through which power, knowledge, and space are made visible and contestable.
