From 1996 to 1999 I was the Curator of Exhibitions and Programs at the Yale University Art Museum. I focused much of my energy on intiating interdisciplinary programming. Among my most successful projects was "Artists on Art", a series of informal lectures by faculty who make art, and teach in 8 disciplines in the Departments of English, Music, Graphic Design, Architecture, Drama, and Art. Each faculty member was asked to comment on a work of art in the permanent collection and refer to the ways the selection relates to their own creative expression. The lectures were very popular and led to a publication of the same name based on transcribed excerpts from the talks. Daphne A.

I'm using examples from my own institution throughout, but want to include examples from other places. There was a great conference at the Tang that covered some of this as well. Does anyone have any examples they'd be interested in sharing? Anything--from a brief description to an article to a link to a website--is appreciated. And it does not always have to be positive!
