PRESS RELEASE
Tales of Water is a collaborative visual arts show co-produced between Skye Gallery and ETHER Arts Project, in conjunction with CORE (Community Office for Resource Efficiency), in the framework of their 2nd annual Imagine Climate, a month-long initiative that explores creative perspectives on climate change.
The show examines the importance of water as a non-renewable resource through the lens of scientific data, documentary photography, painting, sculpture, and video art.
The exhibition will be up from March 13 to April 14, 2020. The programming aims to engage the community using art as a tool to deepen the connection between viewer and the water crisis, appealing to our human sensitivity in a way only art can.
Tania Dibbs is a technically gifted and highly accomplished artist who explores the jagged intersection between the natural world, humanity and culture through painting and sculpture. Her sculptural pieces combine symbols of wealth and culture with their opposites, highlighting a bigger discussion about our fast changing relationship with the planet and with nature in general.
Lizzy Taber, a native of South Florida, holds an MFA from Arizona State University. Her projects investigate the relationships between art and science by exploring data visualization through painting. Lizzy’s most recent works have concepts related to marine ecology, seafloor mapping and changing weather patterns.
Ángeles Peña is a photographer from Argentina, based in Bariloche. The artist seeks to transmit a growing concern for the effects of climate change and the consequences that it brings to the environment. Ángeles selects water out of the four elements as a protagonist, since it's here where she finds most evidence of the vertiginous changes.
Pauline Rrrrrrr explores urban and natural settings using poetry, video, installation and performance art to create new experiences in existing spaces. Her work is often playful and fun but speaks of serious issues from environmental conservation to social reforms.
Yuri Z is an American artist based in Paris working in classical, digital, and hybrid mediums. Largely self-taught, he draws inspiration from science, literature, and a life spent exploring international cities and natural landscapes, notably the high plains and Rocky Mountains where he spent much of his youth.
