Megan Barnard, exhibition curator and Deputy to the Director for Acquisitions and Administration at the Harry Ransom Center, leads a gallery tour of Culture Unbound: Collecting in the Twenty-First Century on Tuesday, February 15, at 7 p.m. at the Ransom Center.
This exhibition commemorates the Ransom Center's tireless hunt for archives that will capture the imagination, invigorate scholarly research, and deepen our understanding of culture. Highlighting major acquisitions in this new century, the exhibition demonstrates how the Center builds a collection of interrelated archives that strengthen and give context to one another. The exhibition showcases materials from both major and lesser-known figures, from writers David Mamet, David Foster Wallace, and Don DeLillo to Brian Moore and Jayne Anne Phillips, from journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to acting teacher Stella Adler. The exhibition explains how archives come to the Ransom Center and how they contribute to our cultural history.
If you are unable to attend the curator's tour, free docent-led tours of this exhibition are offered Tuesdays at noon, Saturdays at 2 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. The exhibition runs through July 31.
