Vote Bold, membership renewals

In the USA, if you haven't voted already, go early and Vote Bold! And, if you need to expend some nervous energy before election day, feel free to print the Ecology of Freedom broadsides and wheatpaste them around your neighborhood. In five days time we will know who will become the 47th President of the United States.

Today we launch our annual membership campaign and invite our subscribers to consider joining us for 2025!

Also, our members newsletters include calls for artists, residencies, and special member announcements. We've had almost 2,000 artists and scientists join ecoartspace since 2020, from 29 countries. Our goal for 2025 is to have over 1,000 members renewed and join us for the first time before the end of this year. join us below

For our monthly Zoom Dialogues, we will continue with the members only Soil, Water and Plastics Dialogues, and will also hold a special informal tribute to Patricia Johanson (1940-2024). And, you can watch the recording from last month's Water Stories tour at BioBAT Art Space in Brooklyn. see below

In light of Native American Heritage Month, may the best possible political outcome prevail for the nonhuman world.

site-works exhibition

Where There is No Name for Art, Ogha Po'oge (White Shell, Water Place)

Submergence Collective, Leah Mata Fragua, Bill Gilbert, Ian Kualiʻi, Ruben Olguin, Carol Padberg
Randall Davey Audubon Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Where There is No Name for Art, Ogha Po’oge (White Shell, Water Place), includes six artists and a collaborative working with natural materials, making ephemeral site-works that will gradually return to the land. Honoring the history of the site at Santa Fe’s Audubon Center, homelands of the Tewa people and Apache, this “non-art” is centered on the more-than-human world, thoughtfully engaging in the land.

Vibrant Repercussions Resonate Around the World, interview with Diane Burko by Olivia Ann Carye Hallstein

Deep Star is a multi-channel audio video installation in a conversation with the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in North America. Live data measuring pH, oxygen, temperature, etc., streams from sensors in the Bay, affecting the animation and audio. High oxygen levels display a giant deepstaria jellyfish, and low oxygen, the jellyfish becomes small. If oxygen becomes super low (anoxic), the animation transforms into a plastic bag. The speed, color and number of critters in the 3D animation are real-time, affected by Bay water conditions, making “Deep Star” an undulating story that changes over time and seasons.  www.lisamoren.com
