ABOUT ‘1.5°C‘
The Orange County Arts Commission, in partnership with the Orange County Office of Sustainability invited visual artists to investigate environmental themes through works of original art. In the open call for this show, artists submitted works of art made from recycled, natural, or sustainable materials and/or art themed around the environment, earth, climate change, sustainability or similar. Possible considerations of themes to explore included, “How are we impacting the earth?” or “What does a healthy earth look like to you?” Artists in this show are currently living in one of the following counties: Orange, Durham, Wake, Chatham, Caswell, Person, or Alamance.
In addition to partnering with the OC Arts Commission for this exhibit, the OC Office of Sustainability has committed to a Purchase Award of up to $1,000!
ART MAKING ACTIVITY with The Collage Stop
Please join Mer Haggerty, Natalia Torres del Valle, and Erin M. Wheeler in the Eno Arts Mill classroom on April 5th 6-8:30pm for ‘The Collage Stop‘ in tandem with the opening reception for 1.5°C! We’ll be using scraps and handmade, natural pigments to make and install a murmuration of paper birds in the style of a mobile. All are welcome to join us and, as always, The Collage Stop is free and open to the public.
About Meltdown Rodeo
Sometimes the process of mining for melody in words eviscerates the raconteur, gutting them like a tornado through a trailer park. Sometimes, “the truth” is a revival of shit rather forgotten, igniting a coward’s desire to look away. With “Meltdown Rodeo,” Kym Register foregoes such consolatory diversions for visceral scrutiny and unbroken stares. The result is a body of tunes that forages the American south, dislodging its ducked bullets from pearly white sand.
