Art, Movement, and Disability: Transcending the Beauty Paradigm is a 2026 book authored by University of Tennessee Associate Professor Emeritus of Art History, Dr. Timothy Hiles. The exhibition brings Hiles’ book into the gallery space, showcasing a selection of the artists featured in his research. These artists’ practices challenge conventional narratives of disability, embodiment, and representation. The works in Art, Movement, and Disability address concepts of disability reclamation, invisible disability, movement, and conversation—where the work engages the viewer in a dialogue.
Exhibiting artists | Sue Austin, Matt Bodett, Laura Ferguson, Elizabeth Jameson, David Johnson, Rabecca Kamen, Christine Sun Kim, KYRIANNA, Riva Lehrer, Alessandro Schiattarella, and Alice Sheppard / Kinetic Light.
