What a delight to attend the opening reception of the i3C exhibit at the gallery CAA@Canal. As stated in the press release of the Cambridge Art Association, “The Cambridge Art Association (CAA) is pleased to announce Inspiring Change for the Climate Crisis (i3C) at CAA @ Canal, a Members Curatorial Exhibit, curated by artist and scientist Adriana G. Prat and including artists from the i3C (inspiring Change for the Climate Crisis) group.”
“This exhibit is part of our new Members’ Curatorial Series, an annual opportunity for members of the CAA to curate an exhibit of three or more artists. The exhibit opens on April 3rd, kicking-off a one-year partnership with BioMed Realty, at a new gallery space, CAA @ Canal, located at 650 E. Kendall Street, in the heart of Kendall Square’s Canal District. The exhibit will remain on view through May 12th, 2023.”
Free and open to the public, the exhibit presents works by 21 artists exploring environmental themes. I am honored and humbled to be among the artists. I hope you have the opportunity to view these incredibly imaginative and passionate works. Also there are other associated activities including:
- “Climate AND Change”: Virtual presentation from expert climate scientist Rachel Licker from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) – Thursday April 27th, 6-7 pm. This talk will review both the latest science on climate change and its causes and explore the interplay between individual actions and systemic changes that could get us where we need to be.
- Virtual presentation from i3C Artist Yulia Shtern – Tuesday May 2nd, 6-7 pm. The talk covers the journey of materials through global recycling systems, exposing their structural deficiencies hidden from the public’s awareness. It also talks about international artists whose primary art-making medium is up-cycled materials, including some of the i3C artists.
- Closing Reception: Fri May 12th, 5-7 pm – At the Gallery
