Established last year as a site dedicated to research and production in contemporary art and design, this new exhibition space, directed by local artist and UT graduate Cynthia Camlin, is a great addition to the already fine programming offered by the Art and Art History Department at UT. Besides a year round schedule of exhibitions showcasing work by UT students and faculty, CRL also facilitates workshops, performances, demonstrations, seminars, and collaborations, like the terrific improvisational blues performance by New York artist Terry Adkins. It is places like these that make us realize the benefits of having a first rate university in the neighborhood.
