Overview

Flowers Video Installation in Site-Specific Exhibition focused on Environmental Reflection. The exhibition is part of the larger NOoSphere Arts’ WE ARE NATURE SERIES: that make full use of the unique stage setting of the Kingsland Wildflowers bird sanctuary at Broadway Stages in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York, to engage a diverse audience in environmental efforts through art. The exhibition brings together 17 international contemporary artists to reflect and discuss environmentally-focused themes, the state of the world today and new conceptions of the future. Exhibition is sponsored by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council, NOoSPHERE Arts and Broadway Stages.

Goals

This temporary environment is used for reflection, meditation and celebration of nature, humanity, and inspiration, a place meant to contemplate how we will build a new world after the Pandemic, which stands as the symbolic Flood of our times. The exhibition presents site specific installations, immersive sound experiences, video, sculpture, and 2D works and will occupy Last Frontier NYC and parts of the Kingsland Wildflowers Rooftops.

Process

I worked with Daniela Holban, Curator of NOoSphere Arts, to select the video installations to be installed inside the Native American Teepee at the installation site.
