Thursday, March 5, 2020 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Location: EIU Booth Library Room 4450 Charleston, IL Instructors: Missy Stowell and Donna Stewart Event is Free and Open to the Public! Register by March 4, 2020 Inaction is a new sculptural and performance based installation by Brendan Fernandes that investigates the political and social implications of the space of the dance floor, a space where tensions between freedom and oppression play out. The sculptural components act both as a shield and a marker of the inherent danger of the gallery and are designed to catch the dancers’ bodies and/or to provide resistance between them and the harsher impact of the gallery’s floor. The exhibit is open January 18 to March 8, 2020. Reception will be from 5:00 to 5:45; discussion to begin at 5:45. Do you love family history? Are you intrigued by old, handwritten documents?
