Our long and wonderful association with the Center for the Arts & Religion at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley began in 2015 when we were invited to be "artists-in-residence" at the Doug Adams Gallery at the Badé Museum of Biblical Archeology. We chronicled that project in our blog Forever Plastic: Finding Meaning in the Mess. HERE. Over the years we have been invited to contribute to their newsletter, keeping faculty and students up-to-date about our various doings.

Sunday Art Salon: SEA – EARTH DAY 2021

Enviro-Art Gallery 2021

The Enviro-Art Gallery is an annual Duke showcase of student and professional artwork designed to highlight the beauty and struggles of nature. It presents art as a call to action, working to connect people to places, ecosystems, and international experiences of nature through engaging visual dialogues. 

The Enviro-Art Gallery is going VIRTUAL and GLOBAL this year. There is a virtual gallery space filled with environmental artwork from around the world, testimony videos and art process videos. Throughout April, they are hosting a series of “receptions” or speaker sessions touching on environmental degradation, environmental and culture, and environmental solutions around the world.

We are thrilled to contribute to this awesome project.

GUSHER

 

GUSHER = an abundantly flowing oil well. 

GUSHER = an effusive display of plastic.

GUSHER is an exploration of my personal extraction story that begins with my Uncle Carl Roget’s EUREKA blowout moment with his oil well in Montana and my own EUREKA moment when I discovered that plastic could be THE art material to express the catastrophe of our petroleum-based consumer culture.

GUSHER is a sculptural interpretation of an oil derrick composed of black plastic collected from Kehoe Beach. The monochromatic monolith reveals identifiable, everyday plastic objects — the substrate of our use-it and toss-it habits.

Many people are unaware of the equation of oil=plastic but every year thousands of barrels of oil and natural gas are extracted and used to make plastic. Offshore oil-drilling, tanker oil spills, tar balls washed ashore and plastic, lots of it, are all part of the problem of fossil fuels, petroleum, and plastic pollution.

It is my hope that GUSHER will encourage a conversation about how plastic has pervaded every aspect of our lives and a discussion about how we can cap the well and put a control valve on our indiscriminate use.

Through June The Parkade in Fairfax, CA is the site for GUSHER. It can be viewed by driving by the corner of Bolinas and Broadway, or on foot as you wander through town. Just across the street is the Coffee Roastery and Scoop ice cream is just down the way so GUSHER is just one of the good reasons to visit this charming place.

GUSHER is participating in Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention that is investigating the extractive industry in all of its forms from mining and drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources. https://www.extractionart.org

WAPO !!!

We never imagined when we started picking up plastic from Kehoe Beach in 1999 that we would end up in the Washington Post. We are so happy to be included in the great press…and thrilled to be a small part of such a magnificent exhibition. AND, at our most favorite museum ever.

As Above, So Below UPDATE

COVID has put the kibosh on most everything.

Exhibitions have been cancelled or delayed. Plans scuttled.

Undaunted, creative souls are rising to the moment with new ways to experience art. Under the directorship of Rebecca Hoffberger, museum founder, visionary among visionaries, the American Visionary Art Museum is offering online virtual docent-led tours and hands-on workshops. The Secret Life of Earth exhibition has been extended until September 2021 with the hope that by then COVID will be long gone.

The virtual tour is here : Episode One:
