On November 10th, Marwen's Student Advisory Board partnered with Catherine Forster and LiveBox Gallery and facilitated a field trip to Unfolding Spaces, a virtual reality exhibit by Julieta Aguilera at Kasia Kay Art Projects.

"The tridimensional shadow of a four dimensional textured grid unfolds in a virtual reality environment. Julieta Aguilera places the viewer within the abstract version of a walk into a forest, at the precise moment that light causes foliage and shadows to merge into a unified pattern." - LiveBox

Students had the opportunity to explore the artwork and talk with the artist, curator, and gallery owner. After the exhibit, everyone hopped on the bus and visited Swim Cafe on Chicago Ave. for cookies, coffee and an open discussion about the artwork.

GlowGadgets with Artist-teacher Sarah Fox created laser installations and light-art craziness in class last week.

"The students are so engaged in class. Working with electronics is something new at Marwen," said Sarah Fox while picking up LEDs, unused wire, and Plexiglas after class was over. "They are consistently surprising me with their ideas and projects."

Come to Marwen's Fall Term Gallery Opening / Holiday Party on December 15 and see the students present their sculptural light work.
