Events Stories

June 6-9: Food and culture series

The 20th annual June Lecture Series at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UD in Wilmington will be held June 6-9. Titled 'June a la Carte,' this year's program focuses on great political documents, feminism, world politics and a Newark cuisine sampler.

Under the leadership of artist and educator, Ashley Pigford, associate professor of graphic and interaction design, students were introduced to artist-constructed machines – i.e., micro-electronics, robotics, kinetic sculpture and interactive installation – as media for artistic expression. 

Representing the application of artistic and design processes across physical and digital media, the exhibited constructions – artist-machines – illuminate phenomena, invite interaction, and explore electronics and robotics as mechanisms of delightful curiosity.

Pigford will present an Artist’s Talk on the exhibition at 5 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 16, in 130 Smith Hall.

The talk will be followed by an opening reception beginning at 6 p.m. in Old College.
