The Art Program at the College of Dupage

Day 2 of critiques in our Space and Time learning community continued with some stunning work from Zola H, Savanna B, Tam V, Giampaolo A, Tinhat F, and Camila C.

Framing the Future is a collaborative project between art and dance students in the Space and Time Learning Community (3D Foundations, Sculpture 1, Sculpture 2, and Time Based Media 1) and the Dance Production + Performance classes. Three groups of art students have created experimental spaces that explore ideas related to movement as a liberatory act. A traveling performance will take place in these spaces and structures on Wednesday, April 8 from 1-2pm around campus (see below for locations) beginning in Mac 157. Additional performances will take place in the Belushi Lobby at The Emergence Spring Dance Concert on April 24 at 7:00 pm and during intermission. One piece will be on display in Techcetera Gallery from March 27-April 10 with a reception open to the public on Thursday, April 9 from 12-1pm. ______________________________________ Hachi Jursinic Jack Lasota Polo Ramon Veronika Steinbarth Dancers: Ruby Meza Pineros and Lynn Twarowski Performance: Mac 157, 1:00-1:15, Wednesday, April 8, 2026 ODDSQUARE : //◻V PORTAL TO THE FUTURE?
