About:
"Unframing experience is the term Jacquelynn Baas uses to describe art activity intended to generate an expanded field of perception connecting maker and viewer within a continuous, multidimensional reality. Baas locates the original of this attitude with Marcel Duchamp and explores its application in the work of Gordon Matta-Clark and contemporary artists.

Jacquelynn Baas is emeritus director of the University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and an independent scholar. Her most recent book-length publications are Buddha Mind in Contemporary Art, co-edited with Mary Jane Jacob (UC Press, 2004) and Smile of the Buddha: Eastern Philosophy and Western Art from Monet to Today (UC Press, 2005).
