Grounded : Ellen Curlee Gallery : St. Louis : March 2008

I am going to be part of a group show called Grounded at the Ellen Curlee Gallery in St. Louis. The show will also feature work from the extremely talented Maslen + Mehra, John Pfahl, and Brian Ulrich. Grounded opens on March 15th. Please contact the gallery for more information.

You can read an essay that I wrote on the work on Maslen + Mehra on my blog Wunderkammer, here: environmentalartblog.com

Below is an excerpt from the press release:

Grounded: Photography and Our Contemporary Environment is an exhibition bringing together international photography and video art focusing on the complex and dynamic interrelationship between humans and the earth while addressing the environmental troubles currently confronting us.

The theme of the exhibition was developed in partnership with the St. Louis Earth Day organization, as a result of their expressed interest in adding a collaborative and artistic component directly involving the community. The photographers represented in Grounded are among a growing movement of global artists who are critically addressing environmental issues such as climate change, extinction and conservation.

These artists believe that art can play a critical role in providing creative insight into these challenges. Grounded proposes art as a way of creating a better understanding of our relationship with our environment as well as a way to explore the renewed role of contemporary art as a leading force in the global debate about the future of our planet.
