Green Revolution
January 18 – May 25, 2013
Tempe Center for the Arts
Tempe, Arizona
The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) is partnering with the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago(MSI) to present an innovative, temporary museum exhibit with virtually no carbon footprint that provides kids and their families with easy lifestyle changes they can make to be more environmentally responsible. “Green Revolution” is based on the exhibition by the same name developed by MSI as part of their Black Creativity program. The exhibition also includes educational resources, videos, and an interactive computer program.
Tempe is working with local artists and organizations to create an interactive exhibition that combines the arts and sciences, teaching community members about “going green.” To date, this exhibition has not been brought to the Southwest and has been displayed in zoos, libraries and science centers – making the Gallery at Tempe Center for the Arts the first arts institution in the nation to offer this Smithsonian project. “Green Revolution” addresses the following themes: carbon footprint, energy, gardening, recycling and hybrid home.
I was invited by Julie Anand to exhibit work made in tandem with her Art & Ecology course at ASU’s Herberger Institute.
