University Beat is a radio and television program that focuses on research from the University of South Florida and how it benefits the Tampa Bay area, Florida, and the world around us. Each week, reporter Mark Schreiner looks at the latest USF efforts in medicine, engineering, education, arts and sciences and explores other programs that reach out to both students and the community.
An exhibit that examines what we think about nature versus what we know is now on display at USF's Contemporary Art Museum. University Beat on WUSF TV takes us to "Mark Dion: Troubleshooting," which takes the tools of a natural history museum and turns them into a thought-provoking exhibit.
Graphic artist Mark Dion explains what the exhibit's title, "Troubleshooting," means; how natural history museums inspire his work; what some of the unusual objects he uses mean; and who should visit his exhibition.
USF Contemporary Art Museum curator Jane Simon talks about some of the upcoming events associated with Dion's exhibition (www.cam.usf.edu).
