ABOUT THE SHOW
Waterfall is an international collaboration between three artists, Pirjo
Heino (Finland), Karmela Berg (Israel), and Ellen Schön (USA) who first
met through the Transcultural Tile Exchange project in 2004. As the 2009
Transcultural Exchanges International Opportunities in the Arts Conference
takes place in Boston this April, these three artists are reuniting at the
Nave Gallery to create an exhibit and performance that uses “water” as
a metaphor for life.
Water is viewed by the trio as both 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 final
component of the exhibition refers to this risk as artists globally were
asked to donate a image of their interpretation of water. Prints will be
sold for $35 and all proceeds 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/
Photos are still being received but as of this date, over 70 artists from
15 countries have contributed their artwork of water.
Waterfall will then travel to Art Gallery Ripustus in Hämeenlinna, Finland
from June 2-28, 2009 and later to Tel Aviv, Israel (venue TBA). Waterfall
is part of the TransCultural Exchange's world-wide Project entitled Here,
There and Everywhere: Anticipating the Art of the Future. The TCEs project
is designed to encourage artists to work collaboratively, culminating in a
series of international exhibitions, a catalog, and a panel discussion at
the International Opportunities in the Arts conference in April 2009.
