About Activate the Space

When art activates a space, it actively considers the location in which it’s being displayed. Through factors such as material, composition, color, form, texture, and shape, the art is not just simply there, it conscientiously exists within the setting.

About Nathan Cobbs

Nathan started with MAG as a teaching assistant in the Creative Workshop. Nathan was able to let their passion lead the way, and their role progressed naturally into the curation and installation of the Lucy Burne Gallery. Originally from Washington, DC, Nathan graduated from the University of Rochester, double majoring in Studio Art and Art History with a focus on visual cultural studies and exhibition work. Nathan’s goal for the Lucy Burne Gallery is to elevate the experience of the gallery by introducing themes that prompt students to deeply reflect on and discuss the subject matter, meaning, technique, and process of their art.
