6 p.m. in LaRose Digital Theatre, Room 101, Koury Business Center
Lillian Ball’s work addresses a variety of environmental issues including land-use, wetland preservation, and global warming. In particular her public project, Waterwash, helped to restore and revitalize an area on the north fork of Long Island that was compromised by storm water pollution.
Ball’s work, which also ranges from sculpture to interactive video installation, has been curated into many of the top environmental art exhibitions such as WEATHER REPORT at Boulder MOCA, GROUNDWORKS: ENVIRONMENTAL COLLABORATION IN CONTEMPORARY ART at Carnegie Mellon University Gallery, THE DROP at Exit Art in NYC. Recent solo shows include LEAP OF FAITH at Art Sites, Riverhead and GO ECO at the Queens Museum of Art. An eco-artist with interdisciplinary practice, her background in anthropology, ethnographic film, and sculpture also informs her work. Ball has received numerous awards including a New York State Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Computer Arts, a John-Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Visual Arts, and a National Endowment for the Arts Grant in Sculpture.
Please join us for this event to learn how artists are responding to, raising questions on, and even finding solutions to environmental issues.
