davis_squareDear Artist Friend,
We would like to welcome you to participate in "Waterfall," An international benefit exhibition on behalf of WaterAid.
Waterfall is an international collaboration between three artists, Pirjo Heino of Finland, Karmela Berg of Israel, and Ellen Schön from the United States. The artists met through the Transcultural Tile Exchange project in 2004. Their collaboration -- an exhibit, installation, and performance--explores the theme of water as a metaphor for life. Water is transformative and healing, as well as a tangible resource which needs to be protected. The title, "Waterfall" conveys both the idea of abundant water AND water at risk.
The Nave Gallery is proud to be coordinating this exhibition with the Transcultural Exchange's International Opportunities in the Arts Conference. In this context, the Nave Gallery will host the exhibition from April 2- 26, 2009 9 (opening reception April 2nd). Waterfall will then travel to Art Gallery Ripustus http://www.ripustus.fi in Hämeenlinna, Finland from June 2-28, 2009 (opening reception June 2nd) and later to Tel Aviv, Israel (venue TBA). http://www.artsommerville.org/nave/exhibits.html
As part of the installation, we have invited local and international artists (you!) to donate interpretive snapshots of water. Photos will be sold for $35 each. A portion of the proceeds from the photographs will be donated to WaterAid, an international non-governmental organization whose mission is to overcome poverty by enabling the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. http://wwwwateraid.org/usa/default.asp
If you would like to participate in "Waterfall", please, send your photo about WATER size A4 (8” x 11” equivalent) with title, date, name, and e-mail address by March 1, 2009 (postmarked deadline) to:
K. Gustafson
c/o The Nave Gallery
155 Powderhouse Blvd.
Somerville, MA 02144
