Student Led Tour: A Walk Beyond the Present: Time and Change in Art with Thomas Kaspereen ‘27

*Meet the tour guide at the Main Galleries front desk, inside Zoellner Arts Center.
The group will walk from In a State of Rejuvenescence outside Zoellner Arts Center to the Temple near Packer Chapel. This is a 60-minute walking tour.

Art tends to freeze moments in time but is never truly static. Sculptures tend to unveil the invisible forces that shape our existence. Join museum educator, Thomas Kaspereen, on an insightful journey across the Memorial Walkway to explore the crossroads where art, time, change, and physics converge. Through this tour, uncover how the sculptures on campus capture the essence of existence, time, and transformation, both conceptually and physically. Discover how artists manipulate space and perspective, connecting the past, present, and future in their creations.

Tour led by LUAG Student Museum Educator, Thomas Kaspereen ‘27.

This event is in celebration of Slow Art Day!
Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.

On April 5, 2025, LUAG, along with museums across the world, from the United States to Germany, Zambia, China, Brazil, France, El Salvador, Britain, Ukraine, and many other countries, will invite people in their communities to hit the pause button. Visitors will gather inside virtual spaces to take part in international Slow Art Day and slow down as they look at art.

The average person looks at a painting for fifteen to thirty seconds, but on Slow Art Day, we urge visitors to spend 5 to 10 minutes closely examining a work of art – or longer if the work captivates and inspires them.

Why slow? When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert (or expertise). And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers. Visit the Slow Art Day website for more programs and information.
