 | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours.

8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.

Professor of Physics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
on
"Our Mathematical Universe"
With a cosmic flight simulator, we take a scenic journey through space and time. After exploring our local Galactic neighborhood, we travel back 13.8 billion years to explore our Big Bang and how state-of-the-art measurements are transforming our understanding of our cosmic origin and ultimate fate. We then zoom into the microworld of the Higgs boson and other elementary particles. Finally, we turn to the question of why our universe appears so uncannily well described by mathematics on both the largest and the smallest scales, and explore controversial ideas involving parallel universes.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.

 | Macbeth (Preview)
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Directed by Jane Page
Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Enjoy the full "Shakespearience" with a picnic on the green before the show (all dietary needs will be accommodated with advance notice). Proceeds benefit CU and CSF! Click here for more information.

| | JEN LEWIN: It's Electric
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 2*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present It’s Electric, a solo exhibition featuring six new playful,
interactive light and sound sculptures by new media artist Jen Lewin.
These works are intended to inspire experimentation and group
collaboration while encouraging participants to become part of the
artwork through direct interaction and active collaboration with the
work on view.
Lewin has spent the last fifteen years honing her highly technical
medium through the fabrication of large-scale interactive sculptures
that she has exhibited in public spaces throughout the country. From
responsive sound and light forms that incorporate dance, to woven fiber
video curtains that reflect movement, to giant robotic moths that
flutter in response to human touch, Lewin’s ability to utilize
technology as a medium challenges many pre-conceived limits and
conceptions of new media works. At once organic and electronic, Jen
Lewin’s playful sculptures leave viewers enchanted and surprised while
encouraging delight through the viewer’s engagement with the work.
Jen Lewin is an internationally renowned interactive sculptor whose
studio is located in Boulder, Colorado. Her technically complex works
have been featured at the Gwangju Art Biennale, Tisch School of the
Arts, Lincoln Center, Burning Man, WIRED Magazine’s NextFest, and SXSW. In 2010, Lewin collaborated with Claes Oldenburg to internally illuminate The Paint Torch,
one of Oldenburg’s large-scale public sculptures in Lenfest Plaza,
Philadelphia. Her design and multimedia work has been featured in
publications such as National Geographic, Siggraph, Computer Aided
Architectural Design Futures, Bon Appétit, WIRED, The New York Times,
and Automation in Construction. Lewin served as Creative Director
for the Ceren Project and Ivee Project at Sundance Laboratory for
Computing in Design and Planning, as well as a lead designer for ITN
(Saber) in Palo Alto. Lewin earned her BA in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPS in Interactive Telecomunications from New York University.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, is a three-part
series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE features
solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado artists whose works
chart new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
This exhibition is generously supported in part by the HBB Foundation,
the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder
Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees.
