This exhibition celebrates three Museum School faculty members––David Davison, Mags Harries, and Warren Mather––who, during the 2009/10 academic year, took time off from teaching for a sabbatical leave. As artists who teach, they are granting a unique view into their creative lives and, at the same time, into their lives as educators. Where do artmaking and pedagogy meet? This vital intersection is one of many that mark the Museum School education.

"Camp is a certain mode of aestheticism. It is one way of seeing the world as an aesthetic phenomenon. That way, the way of Camp, is not in terms of beauty, but in terms of the degree of artifice, of stylization." From Notes on Camp by Susan Sontag (1964).
