Serious Man Serious Hat! #MelChin #ElizabethTurk @meijergardens in the biggest snowstorm I’ve experienced for a while…

“Elizabeth Turk is inspired by the natural world

“Elizabeth Turk is inspired by the natural world, most recently in her ‘Tipping Point: Echoes of Extinction’ series that brings light to extinct and endangered birds through a series of totemic Sound Columns. These sculptures visualize the voices of lost or threatened birds.

Her Evaporated River installation similarly gives form to an absence within nature, here showing the diminished water that used to flow freely through our nation’s riverbeds.

Together with the art of Mel Chin and this exhibition provides new takes on important issues of the day, including environmental hazards, endangered species, memorialization, and lost or hidden histories.”

“Double Take: Mel Chin & Elizabeth Turk” is on view from November 18, 2022 through March 26, 2023, at @meijergardens.

The #ColoradoRiver was so powerful it was mistaken

The #ColoradoRiver was so powerful it was mistaken to be an ocean on 18th c maps. How can it be gone, not able to power dams within a couple years? This piece #EvaporatedRiver is a testimony to our changing this force over the last two centuries. #meijergardens #elizabethturk #sculpture

#EvaporatedRiver tells the story of drought and nothing left of the mighty Colorado. It’s hard to imagine this river was mistaken for an ocean on maps of the 1700’s. Opening tonight at #meijergardens #elizabethturk #sculpture

The #MarbleCollars opened at the #BowersMuseum this weekend. Clouded by the sadness of loosing Dr. Peter Keller, it was impossible to celebrate or even announce. He opened his platform generously. and I’ll miss our Mexican lunches of the last two decades sharing ideas and being inspired. His shadow grows and I just miss him, as do so so many. Thank you.

#EchoesOfExtinction is at the #Woodson museum, the combination of extinct and endangered bird sounds, memorialized. This piece became more powerful to me when I read of the loss of 1/3 of the bird population since the 1970’s in the Cornell eBird newsletter- seems inconceivable. #elizabethturk

#REGI, Thanks to the Raptor Education Group outside Wausau WI we were able to see/ learn/ feel the individual stories of these mesmerizing birds. As I delve into the abstractions of the sound columns in “Echoes of Extinction”, it’s incredible to look into these beautiful eyes and learn their stories. The Woodson Museum expanded the exhibition experience by including this journey to living creatures— I’m so grateful.
