“Sometimes I’ll just have a strong reaction to something, and it just feels right,” Gass said. “It has to be something that’s really pushing a new idea that helps you look at the world – it feels familiar, but at the same time is drastically different.”

The museum runs on a rotating schedule, with new exhibitions coming every three months.

Starting Feb. 21, two collections will come to the Broad Museum. The first, called “Diarios,” is a series of three paintings by Argentinian artist Guillermo Kuitca, who added to the pieces throughout three to six-month time periods. Naiza Khan, an artist from Pakistan, will reflect the violence she perceived in her hometown of Karachi with “Karachi Elegies,” a series comprised of paintings, sculpture and video.

“The two in February are great — they’re both solo shows,” Gass said. “One is from a Pakistani artist, and for the other one, it’s his first solo show in the U.S. His other shows have been in Argentina.”

Following the new work in February, the third exhibition, called “Pattern: Follow the Rules,” will come to Broad on March 21.

“It’s a group show of 16 artists from around the world,” Gass said. “It involves lines and patterns, but it is not designed to set up rules.”

For studio art freshman Victoria Spady, the walls of the Broad Museum have the space to welcome more exhibitions.

“They could use a little bit more art inside — there was lots of open space,” Spady said.

Journalism freshman Annie Sommer, however, said she was happy with the museum’s design.

“I really like how the layout was presented, and I was very impressed by the art shown there,” Sommer said.

With new exhibitions, Gass said her main goal is to bring a new sense of culture to museumgoers they wouldn’t get otherwise.

“Part of the job is creating an innovative art museum that reflects work made all over the world,” she said. “We want to have a finger on the pulse of the contemporary art world.”
