Luis Camnitzer exhibits in Doing and Undergoing at Teachers College, Columbia University, curated by Robert Gero. The site-specific, multi-media exhibition celebrates the 125th anniversary of Teachers College.

Included in the exhibition are three works from Camnitzer's The Assignment Books series, in which Camnitzer presents unresolved conundrums and questions. The series is intended to stimulate critical multidisciplinary thinking on the questions raised, prompting viewers to leave responses that serve as new stimuli for dialogue.
