The realization of the Dimensions of Space exhibition is indebted to the hard work and commitment of all of the students in the Fall 2020 Arts + Culture Integrating Activity class. Olive Barkley-Pavlakos and and Layrssa Marion deserve special recognition, however: Olive for creating the beautiful painting that serves as the background for our site and Layrssa for putting our collective thoughts together in an eloquent introductory text.

 

Additional thanks go to Creative Arts Sector Deans, Andrea Cole and Wolfgang Krotter, Arts + Culture Profile Coordinator, Robert Stephens, ALC Festival Co-ordinator Natalie Olanick and It Solutions Web Designer, Chris Georgieff.

As the teacher-advisor for this IA class I had the great pleasure to work with the Dimensions of Space team and to share with them what has turned out to be a remarkably rich and rewarding exploration of space. Our conversations have confirmed to me that space is as much a social relation and collective fantasy as it is anything measurable and concrete: its experience is shaped accordingly. I extend my thanks and appreciation to all.
