Many new things are percolating at ecoartspace since our benefit meeting. Simon Draper of
Habitat for Artists fame will be installing one of his shed sculptures at the newly renovated ecoartspace office at 53 Mercer Street in January/Feb 09. Several events are in the planning stages now, such as an artist's talk with eco art pioneers
Helen and Newton Harrison to coincide with their January exhibition at
Ronald Feldman Gallery just down the block. Also being planned is a special fundraising event with singer
Dar Williams to benefit ecoartspace and Habitat for Artists. Upcoming curatorial projects will include a summer 09 exhibition at
The Fields Sculpture Park/Art Omi,
FieldWorkers will focus on artists' projects that examine rural issues such as farming, growing and distributing food. Also
Out of the Blue will open in February at Bergen Community College in New Jersey. This exhibition's focus is on weather and its relationship to the creative process and was curated in 2006 by Joy Garnett, Joy Episalla and Amy Lipton for
Abington Art Center. Tricia Watts departs next week for India to join the
48 Degrees Celsius Public Art Ecology conference in Delhi. Watts will also speak in February at the
CAA annual conference in Los Angeles on land ethics in contemporary
land art. Stay tuned for updates and further information on all of the above.
