Janet Echelman sculpts at the scale of the city. Her works, exhibited across five continents, transform public spaces — inviting reflection and awe as they move with the wind.

Choreographer Rebecca Lazier, a 2024 Guggenheim fellow, pushes the boundaries of dance with work rooted in interdisciplinary research.

Together, these dynamic artists worked with architects, historians and Andrew Sageman-Furnas, an NC State mathematics professor, to co-create a soaring aerial performance NOLI TIMERE, which NC State LIVE will present in Stewart Theatre on Oct. 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m.

The Gregg Museum of Art and Design is exhibiting a 1/9th scale version of "Echelman's Butterfly Rest Stop." The full sculpture, a project focused on the role butterflies and other pollinators play in our Earth's ecosystem, is at Kaleidoscope Park, a vibrant new public space in North Texas. 

Come hear Echelman, Lazier and Sageman-Furnas discuss their collaboration and hear Echelman discuss her new book Radical Softness: The Responsive Art of Janet Echelman, which will be released Sept. 16. Copies of Radical Softness will be available for purchase.

This event is part of NC State Live's InterweaveFest, a week of dance, dialogue and discovery inspired by Lazier's NOLI TIMERE.

This free event is open to all.
