Object Lab 7.0
Call for Participants
Dates: June 2015
Location: The Chipstone Foundation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Object Lab is a material studies program organized and funded
by the Chipstone Foundation for third and fourth year
undergraduate students. It exposes participants to new and
diverse means of interacting with, studying and analyzing
objects. An annual event since 2009, this year’s program brings
students together with a range of scholars from the fields of Art
History, History, English, History of Science and Art, as well as
practicing artists and manufacturers. Students will benefit not
only from time with scholars, artists and manufacturers but also
from hands-on exposure to objects from the collections of the
Chipstone Foundation and other museums. To view videos of
previous Object Labs please visit our Artbabble page at
