Join ADF on Tuesday, December 8 at 12pm AKDT as we continue to explore this year’s theme, REVISED UTOPIAS, virtually with land artist, Chris Drury. Chris has been described as a Land Artist seeking to make connections between: Nature and Culture; Inner and Outer; Microcosm and Macrocosm.
ADF invited Drury to Alaska in 2018 with the hopes of being able to facilitate a large scale project or installation as it had been a while since ADF engaged with the community in that way. At the time, we were preparing for our Polar Shift season and it seemed appropriate to consider a special project that celebrated the 25th year of ADF programming in a poignant way.
We made plans and arrangements for Drury’s ADF lecture series visit to also serve as a time to investigate Alaska, perform site visits, and make connections with specialists, locals, and communities. Perhaps we can foster exchanges virtually and share with Drury the essence of the Alaskan landscape, its culture.
In this lecture, Chris will explore his portfolio of work of over 40 years and what it means to be in nature at this time of huge change and disruptions, both political and ecological. Perhaps he’s not revising any utopias, but dismissing them—and what do we need to embrace in order to cultivate a future relationship between society and earth: a new (old) way of understanding and operating.
