Exhibitions and Events Aplenty!
This month's newsletter includes the most extensive list of exhibitions and events since the ecoartspace membership platform began almost two years ago. I know many members had their shows postponed last year, and it appears they're all happening now. Check out over fifty-five programs in the U.S., Portugal, Scotland and Australia. see below
Since the launch of Embodied Forest last month, almost 2,000 people have viewed the interactive exhibition online. Over 1,200 people have spent an average of ten minutes reading the essays and artist statements, and most importantly, viewing the incredible artworks. We now have 70 pre-orders for the book and are aiming for another 30 before printing in October. see below
If you click on Sant Khalsa's Seedlings (above), you will see the growing Fundraiser Gallery located on our website under Exhibits. Currently, there are almost 30 artworks for sale by members. I will be sending out a separate email soon that can be forwarded to friends and family, suggesting they purchase eco-art as gifts this holiday season. There's room for more! Go HERE
This month we will continue with our member's monthly Fiber and Water Dialogues and hold the third Tree Talk focused on Embodied Forest artists. See events below
Please
note our annual membership drive will begin on November 1. You will receive an invoice to renew for 2022, which is due by January 1,
2022 (there's a grace period until January 31). Now would be an excellent time to suggest to your friends and colleagues to
join us!
With gratitude for all our relations.
Patricia Watts, founder

SOME KIND OF NATURE
Wednesday, October 20
United States:12pm PT, 1pm MT, 2pm CT, 3pm ET
EUROPE: Scotland/Ireland/England/Belgium/Germany/Portugal: 20:00 BST
Judith Selby Lang, Pamela Longobardi, Anne-Katrin Spiess, Toby Zallman Plastic production is expected to triple
by 2050. By then, our oceans will contain more weight in plastic than
fish. In 2018 China refused to accept non-recyclable waste from other
countries, and it’s currently cheaper for manufacturers to make virgin
plastic than recycle. How can we solve this plastic dilemma when the
real behavioral change needs to be with the manufacturers of plastics. Members
and one guest are free. General Public can attend for a $10. Capacity
is 100 participants. All participants MUST REGISTER. Images: ©Pam Longobardi, Swerve, 2019; ©Judith Selby-Lang, Swag, 2021; ©Anne-Katrin Spiess, Death By Plastic, 2019; ©Toby Zallman, Plastic Bags in Water 5, 2018. |

Tree Talk is moderated by Sant Khalsa, ecofeminist artist and activist, whose work has focused on critical environmental and societal issues including forests and watersheds for four decades.

lily simonson
Simonson collaborates with oceanographers, discovering and painting new life forms at humanity’s frontiers, from the deep sea to Antarctica. Her psychedelic, outsize paintings transport viewers to these newly-explored worlds, highlighting cutting-edge scientific discoveries, as well as the fragility of these unique environments. Through art-science residencies and invited collaborations, she has participated in numerous oceanographic expeditions, creating art while aboard research vessels, in the deep-sea research submarine Alvin, and scuba diving beneath the sea ice of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. lilysimonson.com

brick by brick: building a modern adobe The story of how the Loves came to build their own adobe house on the gentle slopes of Juniper Hills northeast of Los Angeles chronicles the inspirations, research vectors, serendipities, and literal handmade brick by handmade brick raising of the buildings. In so many essential ways, they were committed in adhering to the fundamentals of traditional adobe--using materials gathered within walking distance, aligning structural orientations with the earth/sky axis, taking the seasons into account in their angles. In other creative ways they freely infused design language from Asian, Mayan, Hopi, and also modern European vernaculars. Essay excerpt from Shana Nys Dambrot Go to store
