What on Earth Is METASPACE/Observation 31? Find Out Oct. 19

October 5, 2015

METASPACE/Observation 31… sounds like the theme of a space shuttle mission or the latest sci-fi blockbuster. Actually, it’s a little more down to earth than that: it’s a new piece of campus art created by acclaimed LI artist Dimitry Schidlovsky.

Some of you know Professor Schidlovsky; he is a long-time adjunct professor in the visual communications department, and a nationally known illustrator whose work has appeared on the front cover of The New York Times Science Times section. His latest work – a 7’ by 16’ oil on canvas – was commissioned with a $10,000 grant by alumna and generous donor Theresa M. Santmann. Ms. Santmann made the donation with the stipulation that it be used to fund campus art .

The painting will be unveiled Monday, October 19 at 11 a.m. in the Campus Center. All are welcome.
