Two years ago, the CUNY Graduate Center's art gallery launched an ambitious initiative. Renamed, renovated, and under new direction, the James Gallery pursued a new mission: to bring artists and scholars into direct contact with each other's ideas and work, and to share with the public the fruits of this exchange. As part of the Graduate Center's longstanding commitment to public programming, since the fall of 2008, the James Gallery has commissioned eleven new artist projects and conceived ten original exhibitions in response to Graduate Center research. It has been the site for performances; scholarly conversations; symposia; and a video series visible only from the street.
