Acclimatized: Heaven & Earth 5--VIP Reception
In collaboration with Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Carkeek Park Advisory Council, the Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) will orchestrate an exhibition of temporary artwork in the forest of Carkeek Park for the fifth consecutive year, from July 13, 2013 through October 20.
In addition to the obvious reference to climate-change adaptation, Acclimatized: Heaven and Earth 5 hinges on the skill of 14 intrepid artists in placing various eco-artworks in the park that are designed to withstand the intensity of scrutiny by an estimated 100,000 summer visitors to the park. Acclimatized is one of the region's only venues for site-specific artwork in an urban forest setting where part of the exhibit includes a walking tour of an hour or more.
This is a special invitation to our members, the media and our special guests to a preview VIP reception with the artists and curators. An RSVP is requested.
Heaven & Earth founder, curator and artist, David Francis, will lead an exclusive insider's tour of the exhibition starting promptly at 7pm.
The tour begins at the Environmental Learning Center
