A mere month after the closing of documenta 14 in Kassel, a second chapter of the titular campaign was inaugurated at the University of Chicago's Logan Center for the Arts, revolving centrally around the exhibition and art intervention project Brown People Are the Wrens in the Parking Lot, curated by Yesomi Umolu--a complex, multifaceted enterprise that involved a more or less conventional art exhibit, a DIY media campaign, a thematic library, video interviews, and a series of events ranging from impromptu performances and DJ sets to an expansive program of talks, presentations, and debates. This campaign-cum-exhibition took place at a significant moment in US history dominated by debates over immigration, race, and the plight of the 99 percent--dominated, in a sense, by constant campaigning. The third and final chapter of the artist's campaign unfolded as a course co-taught at the University of Chicago by Pope.L and Roelstraete titled Art and Knowledge, which, in part at least, sought to address one of Whispering Campaign's catchiest and most puzzling slogans--namely, 'ignorance is a virtue.' The students who constituted this query's primary audience were invited to contribute their observations and intuitions concerning art's at times proudly tenuous relat…
