Walking as Art - Art as Service - Upcoming Local Beach Cleans.
Well it has been an interesting year trying to find my new footing as an artist. As many others will agree, transitioning from an academic setting back into one's everyday practice and life is much more difficult than doing a graduate degree. Luckily I have had the opportunity to attend three artist residencies over the last 10 months - with each of them helping me to put one foot in front of the other while exploring new approaches to performativity, writing, and image making while still respecting values outlined within my UN/making Methodology.
As a result, I am currently in the last leg of creating a multi-modal exhibition for the MacLaren Art Centre that will open on July 10th. Entitled Between Here and There: Walking for Tomorrow - this project is a continuation of a project I began last summer and fall entitled Wht-trSH that has led to five more regional beach clean-ups, which will contribute to installations and assemblages within the exhibit.
So, if you love to spend time at the beach and need to get in a few extra steps each day, I encourage you to join me starting today at 4:00 pm on Centennial Beach where we will spend a little bit of Mother's Day caring for Mother Earth. I have enough gloves, buckets, garbage pickers, and UN/making Network shirts for 10 participants, so simply click on the Eventbrite links below to register.
As part of this project, I would like to give a big shout out to Patricia and Sammy at Simcoe Printing for working with me to create these new shirts using used goods.

Turning beach cleans into an exhibition is a nice way to make the labour part of the artwork. Generating a short AI video from a single photo is what AI Fruit does.
Me parece interesante encontrar contenido que reúna información de diferentes jornadas sin complicar la lectura. Para quienes revisan la lotería nacional, disponer de fechas y resultados claramente identificados facilita bastante la consulta.
Emulator Games Zone has completely changed my approach to retro gaming. I used to rely on messy emulators that were hard to configure, but now I can just open my browser and enjoy a ton of Emulator Games with smooth performance. They even have rare titles I thought I’d never see again!
This post connects art and environmental awareness through creative exhibitions and beach clean initiatives. I once struggled with coding concepts and used python assignment help uk because programming felt complex at first. It helped me understand logic step by step and made learning easier and more structured during practice sessions. Art can be a powerful way to inspire people to care for the planet. nice post
