Defining Sustainability at Arizona State University Art Museum
Posted on: Monday, 13 July 2009, 15:49 CDT
TEMPE, Ariz., July 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The fall 2009 season at the ASU Art Museum and Ceramics Research Center, Defining Sustainability, is a series of dynamic and interactive projects that tell simple stories - an artist's proposal for green transportation or a designer's solution for recycled shade structures. Together, they convey the complexity of sustaining life on earth. A nontraditional art museum project, artists, designers and faculty will include the community in their creative processes and in conversations on sustainability.
Fall 2009 exhibitions include:
Native Confluence: Sustaining Cultures (Nora Naranjo Morse, Athena and Bill Steen, the Postcommodity Collective)
Aug. 29 - Nov. 28, 2009
Native Confluence will include an installation in progress within the CRC as well as seep outside onto the exterior walls of the building.
