Changing Landscapes Artist-in-Residence
David Sullivan Screens his Abstract Animations
at A Studio in the Woods

Join David on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at A Studio in the Woods for Films in the Forest, a screening of David Sullivan’s abstract animations inspired by the effects of air and water pollution prevalent in the chemical corridor. The films will be projected on screens installed in the woods, using the ambient sounds of the forest to provide the soundtrack. Louisiana Bucket Brigade will be on hand to talk about their work advocating for communities affected by industrial development.

Changing Landscapes are 6-week residencies based on the premise that Southern Louisiana can be seen as a microcosm of the global environment, manifesting both the challenges and possibilities inherent in human interaction with the natural world. We ask artists to describe in detail how the region will affect their work, to propose a public component to their residency and to suggest ways in which they will engage with the local community. Four accomplished artists have been selected to participate in this year’s program, funded in part by the Ford Foundation, the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. The upcoming artists in this round of residencies are David Sullivan of New Orleans (November-December 2009), Karen Rich Beall of Lebanon, PA (January-February 2010), and Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts of New York (February-April 2010).
