ABOUT DAPO:
Edna Dapo's work chronicles ways in which people assimilate within tragic events. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and has won numerous awards. Her work has also been selected for NEW AMERICAN PAINTINGS, Volume 70. Dapo, along with several artists, is participating in Columbia's art exhibition RE:figure, which explores the common ground between new and old media representations of the human form, as well as the different uses of figurative representation. (The Show will run from September 8 – October 30, 2009 in the Glass Curtain Gallery; 1104 S. Wabash Avenue, 1st floor)
WHAT IS SHOW OFF? Show Off is a program that gives students a chance to meet one-on-one with professionals during 20-minute appointments. You can use the time to have our guests give you feedback on your work. It's also a good time to discuss general issues about industry expectations. This is a low pressure way for you to practice interviewing, make connections and ease into the professional realm.
