Then yesterday he met in front of his new work at the Johnson Museum with 40 undergraduates in art with whom he discussed not only his new piece, but also the challenges facing new artists, young artists across the globe. To kick off this visit, for example, Xu Bing held an interdisciplinary graduate seminar hosted by the East Asia program with 20 interdisciplinary students from anthropology and history to comparative literature and architecture. Most typical of Xu Bing's impact on campus has been his enthusiastic and tireless interactions with our undergraduate and graduate students. White program as he has interacted with colleagues and students from across the Cornell disciplines from art and Asian studies to the Cornell Botanic Gardens and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. Throughout his visit, Xu Bing has enlivened the spirit of the A.D. White Professor at Large, the first being in 2018. This is Xu Bing's second visit to campus as an A.D.
White Professor at Large program has been called one of the truly imaginary projects in American universities, bringing a steady stream of the world's foremost scientists, thinkers, and artists to the Cornell campus. There are currently 20 active Professors at Large representing five disciplines at Cornell, and the arts is one of the disciplines, we're very happy to say, because oftentimes we don't get that privilege at Cornell. And that is for them to enliven the intellectual and cultural life of the University. During their six year term appointment, each Professor at Large comes to campus for one week, approximately for one week, in each three year period while Cornell classes are in session during the academic year under one mandate.
