Andrew Scott Ross is an artist and researcher who explores the language of museums鈥攈ow objects are presented, how narratives are constructed, and the psychological and cultural implications embedded in those presentations. Through installations, drawings, and other forms of creative research, Ross challenges traditional modes of exhibition-making and interrogates the socio-political forces that shape our understanding of art, history, and culture.
