An exhibition of art will be presented at Mobius, 55
Norfolk Street, Central Square, Cambridge entitled DON’T LOOK AWAY! (www.mobius.org).The exhibit will run from September 12 through September
20 with gallery hours from 12-5 PM on weekends and by appointment. There will
be an opening reception on September 12 from 6-9 PM.
A special
event on Saturday, September 19 will be held from 6- 9PM with renowned public
artist and provocateur Jay Critchley. He will present and discuss environmental
art from his recent retrospective at the Provincetown Museum of Art.
The
DON’T LOOK AWAY! exhibit is the outgrowth of a process between artists and
environmentalists examining their own system of thought. Over several months,
they have practiced an experimental form of dialogue that attempted to address
questions arising from the overwhelm of climate disruption. Artists Margaret
Bellafiore, Lydia Eccles, Milan Kohout, Claire Lau and Judy Werlin, with
support from writers Steve Wineman and John Pitkin, have responded with developing
a variety of work including writing, sculpture, painting, video and
performance. They have struggled with issues of hope and despair, social
activism, fracking, and the larger underlying dynamics of what makes a healthy
society. Much of the work will be interactive as the artists are interested in having
viewers participate by adding to the work.
A
closing reception will be held on Sunday, September 20 from 12-5 PM. A public
dialogue will be held. Activists who are protesting the expansion of the
Spectra gas pipeline in Weymouth, West Roxbury and Dedham will participate in
this collective reflection.
