How can we teach with art that refuses categorization? Fiona Giménez-Collins (OC 2025), Academic Programs Curatorial Assistant, will discuss sparking student dialogue around art objects that challenge typical modes of viewing. Delving into experiences of teaching with Mary Miss's Untitled (1975), Giménez-Collins will reflect on pushing students past discomfort and into new understandings of unconventional artworks.
