re-defined
16 Preview: Miniature Marvels
A new larger-than-life exhibition at the Field Museum explores the fascinating ways
bugs enhance our world. One of their most important traits, their unique adaptability,
is teaching scientists lessons that influence everything from medicine to human
collaboration. To achieve Fantastic Bug Encounters you never thought possible, this new
exhibition can’t be beat.
54 Curator's Corner: Pop Art Redefined
A new exhibition at Northwestern’s Block Museum of Art examines our notion of
Pop Art, reframed by bringing together artists, not only from the U.S. and the U.K.,
where Pop Art were popularized, but also influences from Latin America, as well as
the Caribbean, expanding our understanding of influences and impact of one of this
generation’s most enduring art movements.

This fall, the Harris Theater for Music and Dance will present A Celebration of Lar
Lubovitch, employing the talents of four different luminary dance companies to show
the depth and breadth of the choreographer’s incredible output, bridging ballet and
contemporary dance in a way only Lubovitch truly can.
66 Artist Conversational: The Human Touch
Timeline Theatre and Broadway In Chicago team up to bring Chicago audiences the
Tony Award-winning work by J. T. Rogers that recounts the tensions surrounding the
secretive 1993 Oslo Accord negotiations. Packed with humor and intrigue, Oslo is a
story about how a mutual sense of humanity helped to secure an accord between mortal
enemies on a global scale, revealing a pathway for a peace thought impossible.
