Embracing the concept of the library as a laboratory, the Mandeville Gallery and the Schaffer Library at Union College collaboratively presented the Art Installation Series, in an effort to shift the visual arts from a gallery setting into a public space.

Each year, a contemporary artist was invited to create an art installation piece for the Schaffer Library Learning Commons. Students, staff, faculty and the public were able to view the artist at work, observe the creative process in real time, and informally interact with the artist as s/he creates. Each artist had four days to complete their artwork with the assistance of students, culminating in an artist talk about their experience. The artwork remained on display for one year after completion.
