Camera Lucida’s TV and Sound installation at the Carnegie Center for Art and History (now the Cultural Arts Center). January 23 – April 4, 2015.
The Carnegie Center for Art and History in New Albany, Indiana is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibit, Held from Beneath: An Exploration of Cultural Sustainability, on display January 23 through April 4, 2015. Held from Beneath includes an exhibition and events featuring visual art, poetry, music and performance that explore the concept of cultural sustainability. The exhibit features: Andy Perez, Camera Lucida (Roxell Karr & Jon Silpayamanant), Cynthia Norton/Ninnie Noises, David Iacovazzi-Pau, Erin Keane, Joyce Ogden, Rowland Ricketts, Russel Hulsey, Sara Soltau, Shelley Vaughn Hulsey, Shohei Katayama and Susanna Crum. These artists all participated in a day-long workshop on cultural sustainability with Dr. Rory Turner, who writes, “When we grapple with the challenges of sustainability, we need to consider not only the science of our impacts on the environment, but also the beliefs, values, and practices we engage in as participants and creators of a culture.” He goes on to say, “Looking forward, we need cultural innovation and creativity in envisioning and designing livable and environmentally friendly communities. If we look inward, we just might discover that the things we really care about most, the heart of our culture and of our humanity, are simple things, the warmth of friends and family, the beauty of nature and the arts, good chat, healthy nourishing food, and so on, things that we do not have to destroy the planet to acquire.”
