Dear List,
I'm currently working with Tim Collins and Reiko Goto at Carnegie
Mellon on an exhibition focused on collaborative art projects that
address environmental or ecological issues. The exhibit will feature
works from artists/groups working internationally and will be
complimented by a series of "residencies" in which artist's groups work
in collaboration with local NGOs and residents in Allegheny County.
There are a number of crucial issues in the Pittsburgh area related to
residual pollution from the steel industry, highway construction, and
ongoing mining operations. I'd be interested to hear of any suggestions
that list members might have of recent projects. We have a particular
interest in projects that have some connection to policy formation and
planing. I can send along a precis if anyone wants more info. Here's a
URL with some additional info. on the local context.
Best wishes,
Grant Kester
