Design Sublime Artist Roundtable

IHP Curatorial Lab (a project of FAU libraries) held an artist roundtable at the Design Sublime Gallery, located at 7203 NE 4th Avenue, Suite 101
Miami FL 33138

IHP Curatorial Lab holds roundtable gatherings at artist studios, galleries and museums to facilitate dialog relating to contemporary art practices. By gathering a group of professionals from different disciplines; the conversations act as a visual learning lab and facilitator to understanding current art practices; how curators or museum administrators view artists and work; and more importantly how the public interprets what creatives do.

Our roundtable discussions are meant to promote cross-sector dialogue about the arts; but also how we as artists and cultural curators can contribute to solving societal problems. Each Roundtable focuses on a specific topic or artist. This meeting focused on the solo show by artist Rick Newton

New environmental mural


 Five Years Later by visual artist Birds Are Nice was installed today. This artist uses her work to raise environmental awareness about current issues and the tumultuous relationship humans have with nature.

Five years later [vinyl on drywall, 48 x 57"] is meant to keep the public aware of the events that are still plaguing the gulf coast and all of the inhabitants that call these gulf waters home. According to this infographic (follow the link) by the Mississippi River Delta; there were an estimated 20-60,000 Kemp Ridley's Turtles that died due to direct contact with the oil spill.

Several other species continue to have problems. Dolphin are dying,  there were an estimated 800,000 seabird deaths, tarred beachesTuna are having heart issues.

Follow the links to read more about the environmental issues still facing the region. Not to mention the new oil disaster in California.

Our mural program here at the FAU Jupiter library wants students to start a dialog about the environment. We also want people to recognize how art can play an important role in science communication. Come by and check it out in person.
