Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series: Claudia Hart
Claudia Hart's work deals with issues of representation, and the role of the computer in shifting contemporary values about identity and what might be called the natural. Her project is to de-masculinze the culture of corporate technology by inserting the irrational and the personal into the slick, overly-determined Cartesian world of digital design.

Between Constructions of Desire
Friday 4/5 @ 7:30pm and Saturday 4/6 @ 2pm
Maria Gillespie | The Collaboratory will present Between Constructions of Desire, a performance installation exploring the links between interior space and external space – within which lies desire of the always localized self and body. Embodied experience is brought into relief by the concrete explorations of body, object, and space. Influenced by minimalist dance and visual art, this dance extends the bodies’ flesh spaces into architectural space as, “a medium of experience”, and one that reminds us of the inherent desire that space leverages to express power, labor, tenderness, and the promise of impermanence.
