SUMMARY:Disappearing Waters
DESCRIPTION:Disappearing Waters is part of the Concert for the Climate music event at the L.A. First Congregational Church. The piece is a collaborative piano and video exploration of Southern California’s evaporating lakes and rivers. Using aerial drone photography\, artist Lori Pond creates beautiful\, haunting\, revealing images of the devastation brought on by the current drought ravaging the waterways of our state. Vicki Ray’s piano underscoring uses famous “water” pieces form the repertoire and gradually “depletes” their supply of notes and richness over the course of the film. \nThe current state of drought is in direct relation to the climate crisis facing our state\, our nation\, our world. By viewing these evaporating waters from above\, one begins to sense their relation to the surrounding environment in broader terms. To see a shore recede while viewing it from ground level is one thing but to experience the shrinkage from above enters our psyche on deeper\, more visceral level. We hope help raise awareness about the loss of these beautiful waters through our work and to inspire people to action. \nTickets are free but space is limited.  Please make a reservation to secure a seat.

SUMMARY:Water: A Necessary Conversation
DESCRIPTION:WATER: A NECESSARY CONVERSATION is an “Art as Activism” exhibition at Avenue 50 Studio in Los Angeles. Curated by art historian Susan M King\, it features select contemporary works and historical posters from the Collection of Center for the Study of Political Graphics. The exhibition includes artworks by over 25 contemporary artists working in an array of media including posters\, painting\, prints\, video\, and photography. \nThe exhibition brings together contemporary art and past posters focused on water as a vital and limited resource. The artworks chosen are meant as a social lever around a range of water conservation issues. As King notes: “While some of the contemporary art explicitly raises questions about the role of individuals and institutions in managing the current water crisis\, other works focus on personal observations and political concerns. The combination of past and present art underscores the enduring human need to manage water resources\, and the usefulness of art in conveying that message.” \nThe exhibition is sponsored by the Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art. \nGallery hours are: Tue-Thurs\, 10am-4pm and Sat-Sun\, 10am-4pm \nA closing conversation addressing short and long range solutions to the water crisis will be held on Saturday\, December 5\, 1:30-3:30pm. The panel will feature artists Mariona Barkus\, Danielle Eubank\, Brenda Hurst\, Ann Isolde and Sheila Pinkel from the collective “Artists Formerly Known as Women.” Curator Susan King will be the moderator.
