Join the Center for Art & Social Engagement on Thursday October 20th for a talk by exhibiting artist Emily Erb in Westby room 111 starting at 4:00 pm. Followed by a reception for her exhibition, Gaia Theory, in CASE from 5:00 - 7:00 pm.
The title references the The Gaia Hypothesis that proposes that living organisms are synergistic with the inorganic surroundings on Earth that sustain the conditions needed for life on the planet. In some Gaia theory approaches, the Earth itself is viewed as an organism with self-regulatory functions. Thus the larger than life silk painted figures in the series, embedded with imagery from maps, become the vessel, “Earth”, in which these inescapable, predestined natural and man-made systems are functioning.
