Public Reception 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM during the San Jose SubZERO Festival

9:00 - 10:00 PM Post Festival Artist Hangout

Over the past few months I have been in residence at the TechShop San Jose tinkering around, making worlds of what the Earth would look like if nature balanced itself out. I've been inspired by the community of Makers who are not just thinking of the future but creating it. As my time at The TechShop comes to an end, I'd personally like to invite you as my guest for a special reception.  If you are coming from the North Bay it's an easy CalTrain away. There is also an outdoor arts festival (SubZERO) happening at the same time. Make it a date night! -Danielle Siembieda You're more than welcome to bring your friends and family.

in a closed cell foam mat  anchored to the lake’s floor. The plants help remove excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from the lake water, and adds shade for fish habitat. Inspired by Spiral Jetty (1970), Robert Smithson’s famous earthwork sited in the Great Salt Lake, Utah. This spiral is a working earthwork, floating on the surface of the lake. When the installation is taken down in Summer 2014, sections of the wetland will be adopted and transplanted into other wetlands and retention basins in the region, so their benefits can continue in new waters.  http://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/2013/05/09/artist-stacy-levys-spiral-wetland-in-place-at-lake-fayetteville/  http://www.artospherefestival.org/spiral-wetland-by-stacy-levy/ photo image:  Robert Ginsburg]]> http://weadartists.org/stacy-levys-spiral-wetland/feed 0 International Uranium Film Festival http://weadartists.org/international-uranium-film-festival http://weadartists.org/international-uranium-film-festival#comments Wed, 15 May 2013 21:02:48 +0000 Eve Andree Laramee http://weadartists.org/?p=9051 Dear WEAD Community, I write to you as the U.S. Coordinator of the International Uranium Film Festival that originates at the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
