FUSION! Artists in a Research Setting

The work exhibited in Fusion!—whether in documentary or actual form—represented the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry’s 11 year-long history. More than 20 artists (and others) were awarded Research Fellowships at this unusual institution, which attempts to integrate the resources of Carnegie Mellon University in collaborative, artist-initiated projects. Few generalizations can be made about the stunningly diverse array of works in this show—only about the highly collaborative processes and multi-disciplinary methods that resulted in their production.
