Although the news about plastic pollution is dire, they bring the excitement of scouting for treasures and the pleasure of the creative life to an otherwise difficult topic.

Some say the moniker is elitist because the costs for many are prohibitive. Although it is the prime time for snow and going to the mountains, our grandkids, Clementine and Aloysius, discovered that Kehoe Beach was the place to be. The crashing waves of the recent storms along with dissolved organic matter created great puffs of foam. So instead of snow drifts there was abundant seafoam. "Ski Week" is now "Seafoam Week." Plus, with rain still threatening, there were no crowds. The expanse of the ocean and beach was all ours.</span></p>Beach Plastichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00334964852498747314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465271132880675542.post-48290721700680274432024-02-23T07:13:00.000-08:002024-02-23T07:13:06.941-08:00Spotlight<div class="zoneContent" style="background: 0px 50% rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class="container_12" style="margin: 0px auto; width: 960px;"><div class="s1_grid_12 s2_grid_12 s3_grid_12" style="background: 0px 50%; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; width: 940px;"><div class="WaPlaceHolder WaPlaceHolderContent" data-componentid="Content" id="idPrimaryContentBlock1Content"><div style="padding: 20px 0px;"><div class="WaGadgetOnly WaGadgetBlog gadgetStyleNone WaGadgetBlogStateDetails" data-componentid="TtBuRrW" id="id_TtBuRrW" style="margin: 0px; overflow: visible; position: relative;"><form action="https://ecoartspace.org/Blog/13317732?fbclid=IwAR2cDr6AbScAIuT-kQScFiXFeKNSJmFxtfApkBG-4gpq9x4sjUTFrIQ1KpY" id="form" method="post"><div class="blogEntryOuterContainer" style="margin: 0px 0px 30px;"><div class="blogEntryContainer"><div class="d1"><div class="d2"><div class="d3"><div class="d4"><div class="d5"><div class="d6"><div class="d7"><div class="d8"><div class="d9"><div class="inner"><div class="boxOuterContainer boxBaseView"><div class="boxContainer"><div class="d1"><div class="d2"><div class="d3"><div class="d4"><div class="d5"><div class="d6"><div class="d7"><div class="d8"><div class="d9"><div class="inner"><div class="boxHeaderOuterContainer" style="background: 0px 50%; color: #3d4230; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 35px 0px 0px;"><div class="boxHeaderContainer" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="d1"><div class="d2"><div class="d3"><div class="d4"><div class="d5"><div class="d6"><div class="d7"><div class="d8"><div class="d9"><div class="inner"><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Judith writes: </span></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This feature story came as a total surprise!!!

Opening on December 2nd, this exhibit showcases an emotive collection of works across diverse media, delving into urgent concerns such as record-breaking heat, rain and fire occurrences, the plastic consumption crisis, and the profound impact of human infrastructure on the environment. In addition, the exhibit provides insights into the intersection of AI with our comprehension of information and self-perception.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p7" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">In an era increasingly defined by extreme weather and environmental crises, "Far away is NOW" invites viewers to confront the reality of the Anthropocene—the era of significant human impact on the Earth's geology and ecosystems.</span></p><p class="p8" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px; min-height: 19px;">The exhibition brings together a diverse array of voices spanning over a 40-year age difference among participants. This diverse assembly not only amplifies the multifaceted nature of experiences but also underscores the essence of intersectionality in addressing climate change. Illuminating how various social identities—such as race, gender, age, and socio-economic status—intersect and compound. "SOOT" by Stacy Goodman, serves as a reminder of the inequality inherent in climate change impacts. Goodman's work emphasizes how geographical location significantly dictates the quality of the air we breathe. Through this piece, Goodman draws attention to the differential effects of environmental crises, shedding light on how marginalized communities disproportionately bear the brunt of these consequences.<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"></span></p><p class="p7" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Charlotta Hauksdottir's interactive photographic piece allows viewers to take home a fragment of the artwork.

His art raises a critical question: how does our constant interaction with technology shape and influence us? By feeding nonsense prompts into AI image generators, he gets alien images out. This reflects the echo chambers of news and social media that contribute to climate change denial: garbage in garbage out. Amory’s art serves as a poignant reflection on the ways in which our relationship with technology molds our perspectives and behaviors, ultimately influencing critical issues like climate change awareness and denial.</span></p><p class="p7" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">In a time when environmental concerns dominate global discourse, abstracted art offers a unique communication that transcends traditional news outlets and social media. This visual form enables viewers to deeply engage with the extensive impacts of human activities on our planet. Artists Hughen/Starkweather and Lisa Kiros examine the human-environment interaction, focusing on themes such as deforestation and the creation of man-made structures for water control and shoreline construction. Meanwhile, Ron Moultrie Saunders redefines the typical use of photography, harnessing the sun's power to create abstract, alternative-process photographs. These images compel viewers to reflect on their personal experiences with extreme weather, fostering an emotional understanding and connection with these environmental phenomena.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p7" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Engaging Public Programs</b></span></p><p class="p7" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The artist team Judith Selby Lang and Richard Lang collect plastic debris from a 1000-yard stretch of Kehoe Beach in Point Reyes. Addressing the link between plastic production and oil, they are creating an expansive installation that critiques our petroleum-based consumer culture. Francis Baker responds to society's obsession with plastic by cutting it up to simulate the formation of microplastics. Utilizing these fragments and the power of the sun, he crafts photograms that highlight the connection between our actions, their environmental consequences, and the impact on the earths protection from the sun. To conclude the exhibition, on January 20th from 2-6 pm, Judith Selby Lang, Richard Lang, and Francis Baker will host a participatory event. Here, visitors can create their own photograms using the plastic debris from Kehoe Beach, offering an engaging and hands-on experience in environmental art-making.</span></p><p class="p7" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">120710 is committed to fostering experimentation in art, providing the perfect backdrop for this exhibit.

Although I had the poise and skill, my teacher dashed my hopes. She said that my neck was going to be too short and I would never be tall enough to be in the Corps let alone a soloist or principal. Plus, my legs were too chunky, not svelte enough. How she could tell all this? Maybe it’s like looking at a puppy's paws to determine how big a dog will get. Although she diminished my professional ambitions she did not change my love of dance.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUvqDveVBkV5ZMEVLyaF9a6y_ElpxR9F1P9t2eamTxx-aMOtjBxJ9MmGXDzTN6-tfWdAt0PM52ot4xwZX63In7LavTFMifzmKnjBnj4TGExUxSffbQigK7RSGtnozw-wjPimy9n8xvvMlU8hONoFflACbIMfwTRZ0fHxVHwk5YQTHaBZpPvyKm8v_J47RB/s935/Judy%20dance.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="935" data-original-width="647" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUvqDveVBkV5ZMEVLyaF9a6y_ElpxR9F1P9t2eamTxx-aMOtjBxJ9MmGXDzTN6-tfWdAt0PM52ot4xwZX63In7LavTFMifzmKnjBnj4TGExUxSffbQigK7RSGtnozw-wjPimy9n8xvvMlU8hONoFflACbIMfwTRZ0fHxVHwk5YQTHaBZpPvyKm8v_J47RB/w442-h640/Judy%20dance.png" width="442" /></span></a></div><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none; font-size: medium;"></span></p><p class="p4" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none; font-size: medium;">My parents were big believers that lessons — ballet, ukulele, piano, tap, made for a well-rounded person.

We are hoping that one from our collection of gloves that have washed ashore on to Kehoe Beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore might just fit. Since 1999 my husband and I have been gleaning plastic from 1000 yards of that one beach. We describe our project as "shopping for plastic." We are not cleaning the beach but we are curating the beach, since some of what we find we put to reuse in our daily life and most we put to use in our artwork. <a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" href="https://www.beachplastic.com/" id="LPlnk756550" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">https://www.beachplastic.com</a></div><div class="x_elementToProof x_ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></div><div class="x_elementToProof x_ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></div><div class="x_elementToProof x_ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Best,</div><div class="x_elementToProof x_ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Judith and Richard</div><div class="x_elementToProof" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br aria-hidden="true" style="background-color: white;" /></div><div class="x_elementToProof" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><div class="x_elementToProof" style="border: 0px; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-style: inherit;">Michael responded with our pic with a post in his column.

So I would go to look and identify what we were digging up. I would longingly gaze into the specimen vitrines and wish upon wish that someday one of my fossils would be on display with a label attribution that had details about the rarity of the find; the latitude and longitude of the site, notes about the Era, Period, Epoch and yes, across the vast expanse of geological time would be MY name as the collector.</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(55, 55, 55); color: #373737; font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none; font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(55, 55, 55); font-family: Helvetica;">Fast forward some 60 + years, I now find myself to be an artist/archeologist mining the beach in search for remnants of plastic, future fossils from the Plasticene. So, in a way, I have become what I had always hoped. Because of the things that we find, we frame them as archeological remnants. They are indicators of our consumer culture and they will be around for a long, long time. They really are exemplars of our existence in the same way that the fossils are.</span></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal;

The exhibition addresses diverse topics around water—what is in our water, how much we consume, how climate change has impacted water, how humans have sought to control water sources and to what effect, and the symbolic role of water in moving people literally and metaphorically.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #3d3b38; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #3d3b38; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The artists in <i>Under Water</i> explore a range of concerns lurking under the surface, bringing them to light. In this exhibition, we will find an exploration of the significance of water as a medium for migration and the role of water in environmental justice. Some artists use research, mapping and measuring data to share perspectives on water use, facts, and effects. Works in the exhibition help us experience the impact of sea level rise and realize the environmental benefits of marshlands. Other artists creatively address water pollution, plastic waste, and the impact of climate change on ocean temperatures and ecosystems.</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #3d3b38; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #3d3b38; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Artists in the exhibition include: Kim Anno, Barbara Boissevain, Sukey Bryan, Judith Content, Jeffrey Downing, Ana Teresa Fernández, Linda Gass, Tanja Geis, Liz Hickok, Kenyatta A.C.
