With the opening of a substantial new art museum at the University of Nevada, Reno, it is fitting that the museum’s inaugural exhibition contended with the authority of these exhibition spaces and interrogated the mission and legacy of institutional collection and display practices. The John and Geraldine Lilley Museum of Art hosted Terma, Images from the Ear or Groin or Somewhere, from January 25 – March 7, 2019. Terma resulted from an international collaboration between Canadian artist Sameer Farooq and American poet Jared Stanley. Terma was composed of five elemental segments: Twenty-Four Affections, If it were possible to collect all navels of the world on the steps to ASCENSION, Seven Essays, Paperwork, and Resting Spot for the Eyes. In their own idiosyncratic way, each of these elements referenced the fraught history of museum spaces and challenged visitors to reimagine what a museum might be.
