Akron Art Museum will preview an upcoming exhibition in its 1899 Building with a Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, August 25, offering an early look at Shana Moulton’s 'Meta/Physical Therapy' before it goes on view in September. The museum says the noon program will feature Chief Curator Jenny Gerow and technical director Jørgen Noodt Skjærvold in conversation about the installation.
According to the museum’s event listing, the discussion will focus on the work’s immersive structure and the ways it shifts between gallery and performance modes. The program is described as an introduction to an installation that includes multiple projections, sculptural elements, and synchronized technology, with the installation transforming in real time as viewers experience it.
The Lunch and Learn is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Registration is required, and the museum lists the program as free for members and $12 for museum guests.
'Meta/Physical Therapy' is identified by the museum as the subject of the September presentation, though the event page does not give a separate exhibition opening date. The August program is positioned as a preview conversation rather than the exhibition itself, giving visitors a chance to hear directly from the museum’s curatorial and technical staff about how the installation functions.
Moulton’s project is presented on the museum’s website as an immersive installation built around changing states and layered media. The museum highlights its combination of projection, sculpture, and synchronized technology, signaling a work that depends on both visual composition and timed activation rather than a single static display.
The event is part of Akron Art Museum’s public programming calendar, which includes talks and other educational offerings alongside exhibitions. For this Lunch and Learn, the museum directs visitors to its registration page for attendance details and tickets, with the conversation set to take place before 'Meta/Physical Therapy' opens later in the season.
