The audience is on display at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art’s newest exhibit, “Call and Response.”

From now until Aug. 28, the “Call and Response” exhibit will display four of the museum’s recent acquisitions that make viewers question what their role is in art. All four installations showcase a unique perspective on the relationship between digital art and viewer engagement.

“The museum is excited to have the opportunity to showcase new acquisitions that allow for the viewers to question their role as participants within their physical interactions,” said Senior Curator of Western Art Johanna Seasonwein.

The exhibit was inspired by an Ann Hamilton piece, “Signal.” Hamilton’s multimedia installation focuses on asking questions about what humanity’s role and place is in subjects such as identity, language and voice.

Other installations a part of “Call and Response” are Nina Katchadourian’s, “Acca Dacca Diptych” which is a series of video self-portraits and an audio track in which Katchadourian lip sync’s an AC/DC song, and Peter Sarkisian’s “Book 2,” a video commentary that discusses the loss of writing as a form of communication in contemporary society.

The final installation, Ken Matsubara’s “Eiffel Tower, Repetition Series,” contrasts old travel photographs with modern technology, which serves as a “meditation on past and present, absence and presence,” according to the the museum’s website.

Admission is free to ages 18 and under, museum members, college students with ID and University of Oregon faculty and staff.
