Works in Progress

Season 3, Episode 2: Building the ArtLab
In this episode, we speak with Robin Kelsey, Shirley Carter Burden Professor of Photography in the Department of History of Art & Architecture and the former Dean of Arts and Humanities, and Lori E. Gross, Associate Provost for the Arts, about the history and making of the Harvard ArtLab.

Robin and Lori share insights into the building’s development and design, reflecting on the balance between the needs of faculty, students, and visiting artists while guiding the project from concept to completion.

Join us for an illuminating conversation on how university leadership, architecture, and the arts converge to shape creative research at Harvard.

Thanks for joining us for Works in Progress. We hope these conversations give you a glimpse into the creativity, collaboration, and experimentation happening at ArtLab. To learn more, visit artlab.harvard.edu.
