Each month, Krannert Art Museum selects a piece of art to display on their “response wall” on the lower level of the museum. Patrons are invited to write down their thoughts and reactions and interpretations on sticky notes to place on the wall surrounding the artwork.
Here are some of the offerings from last month, responding to Mary Cady Johnson’s Words of George Wald Page 1, 1969.

This month’s response wall piece, shown above, is The Hecklers by Joseph Hirsch. KAM’s website describes it this way: “The artist shows a group of older, white men dressed in suits, shouting from their balcony seats. As a group, their faces and body language express a sense of disapproval and confrontation.”
