Art.
“It’s Not Easy Being Green” exhibition by Midwest Sculptors and Artists
The three artists featured in the 9th annual Forecastle Festival know this problem all too well. Getting past slogans, habits, conveniences and conflicting priorities can be overwhelming. Through their sculptures and art installations – situated throughout the 74-acre riverfront site – these artists will prompt a conversation about ecology, nature, industry and our relationships with them.
Leticia Bajuyo is a sculptor and Professor of Art at Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana. Her sculptures involve the inventive reuse of discarded materials such as CDs and empty bottles. For Forecastle, she is amassing plastic bottles from local corporations to create a a large-scale sculpture that will surround and arch over viewers as they walk along one of the main sidewalks on the Great Lawn. Her piece entitled “potentially kinetic-kinetically potential” will engage festival goers in a conversation about recycling. Read more here.
Joyce Ogden is a sculptor and Professor of Art at Spalding University in Louisville. Her contribution, “53.93,” will be a series of twelve sculptural towers focusing attention on rainfall levels in Kentucky for each month of 2009. Water and water-management issues have been the subject of her sculptures and installation work for the last 15 years. Read more here.
Todd C. Smith is an artist with an unusual form of expression: tree climbing. His series of sculptural vignettes, “Stock, “ will be built around different trees on the festival site. Each vignette will have an accompanying recording of a childhood tree-climbing story shared with Smith by people from around the United States. Read more here.
