Campbell's electrified works prompt visitors to see the surrounding permanent collection in a new light. A temporary exhibition of light-based works by Jim Campbell is on view at the Anderson Collection at Stanford University through Aug. Eleven of the artist's largeand small-scale works are installed throughout the permanent collection of post-war American art on both floors of the museum. This exhibition marks the first time Campbell has attempted to mix his work within a museum's permanent collection. He did so at the urging of Jason Linetzky, the director of the Anderson Collection, who invited Campbell to be part of the museum's fifth-anniversary celebration. Both Linetzky and Campbell saw the potential from the partnership. Hosting the exhibition is a way to re-engage with and rethink the permanent collection, Linetzky said.
