SUMMARY:Sunday Dinner on the Bayou
DESCRIPTION:Join WWNO\, A Studio in the Woods & The Land Memory Bank in historic St. Bernard Parish as we celebrate coastal food and culture\, down Bayou Terre-aux Bouefs at Los Islenos Museum and Cultural Complex\, 1357 Bayou Road\, Saint Bernard\, LA 70085. \nFamily-style local foodways feast\, foraged by Blaise Pezold\, prepared by award winning Chef Michael Gulotta (formerly of Restaurant August and current owner of Mopho Mid-City\,) paired with Louisiana rhythm & bluesman Guitar Lightnin’ Lee and His Thunder Band and a St. Bernard photo exhibit “Honoring our Ancestors” by Monique Verdin. \nSaint Bernard\, a sister Parish of New Orleans located just down river from the old city\, has significantly contributed to the rich history and culture of Louisiana. Indigenous peoples once lived along the parish bayous and prairies\, and in cypress swamp forest that were once so thick one could not see the sun. Early colonial journals note that the “boeuf savage\,” buffalo\, roamed along the historic distributary now known as Bayou Terre-aux-Boeufs. The Islenos\, Canary Islanders\, were settled along the historic bayou in the seventeen hundreds\, when the Spanish had possession of the Louisiana territory. Italians\, Creoles\, Africans\, American Indians\, Acadians\, Spaniards\, former Yugoslavians and many others have called these fertile lands and bountiful waters home. \nAcross south Louisiana\, there once was a thriving dancehall tradition. Just about every small community had a dancehall\, sometime two or more even. These were sacred places\, where community would gather to dance and eat and talk and celebrate. Unfortunately\, like our coastal wetlands\, the dancehall culture is disappearing in St. Bernard. \nIn an attempt to resurrect the old community rituals\, WWNO\, A Studio in the Woods and The Land Memory Bank have partnered to present a Sunday Dancehall down Bayou Terre-aux-Boeufs. Join us as we celebrate coastal food and culture and converse about southeast Louisiana’s hopes\, challenges and adaptations. \nCoastal converstation facilitated by A Studio in the Woods artist in resident Christy George and Tulane University faculty partner Laura Murphy\, PhD\, Carnegie Corporation of New York Professor of Social Entrepreneurship (Department of Global Community Health and Behavioral Sciences and the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking.)

SUMMARY:Listening and Singing in Nature with Resident Shay Nichols
DESCRIPTION:How can singing deepen our connection to the natural world and each other? Listening to the sounds and stillness of nature\, we will tune ourselves to the natural environment. How can we listen to nature as music? Using long tones and simple patterns\, we will explore the many possibilities of creating spontaneous soundscapes together. \nThursday\, October 29th\, 9:30-11am A Studio in the Woods\nClick here for map and directions: MAP \nSpace is limited\, please sign up HERE. This event is primarily geared towards adults\, but teens and youth may attend with a guardian.

SUMMARY:How to Build a Forest
DESCRIPTION:How to Build a Forest is a polysynthetic\, interdisciplinary hybrid of a project. Part visual art installation and part theater performance\, this durational event unfolds over eight hours. \nBeginning in an empty space\, visual artist Shawn Hall and theater/performance artists Katie Pearl and Lisa D’Amour—along with a four-person crew—work meticulously to construct\, dismantle\, and remove an elaborately fabricated forest. Inspired by 100 trees lost at a Louisiana family home following Hurricane Katrina\, How to Build a Forest is also strongly informed by the ecological consequences of the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.\n\nContemporary Art Center\n900 Camp Street\, New Orleans \nThere are a number of How to Build a Forest performances and talks!\nHow to Build a Forest – Friday\, October 23 – Thursday\, October 29\n\nForest and Water in Dialogue: Artists and Scientists Contemplate the Gulf Coast\, October 27th at 7pm\nPanel discussion with How to Build a Forest artists\, ecologist Dave Baker\, artist Monique Verdin\, and coastal geologist Alex Kokler about the current pressing environmental issues facing Louisiana.\n\nTrees Talk: 10 Years of Recovery Research in a Louisiana Bottomland Hardwood Forest 2005-2015\, October 28th at 3pm \nDavid Baker\, Environmental Curator at A Studio in the Woods\, tells the inspiring story of resilience and recovery of the Studio 8-acre forest with scientific research from pre- and post-Katrina. A forest ecologist\, Baker studies long term changes to Louisiana’s bottomland hardwood forests with a particular emphasis on how hurricanes and invasive species change these ecosystems. \nOn performance days\, audience members can visit the forest at any time during its 8-hour life cycle\, viewing it from afar\, or up close\, or side by side with the builders.

SUMMARY:Listening to the River
DESCRIPTION:Previous ASITW residents\, Monica Haller and Sebastian Muellauer are traveling down river for the month of July\, mapping the sounds of the river from headwaters to the delta. \nThey are using an underwater microphone (hydrophone)\, a robot buoy that records the sounds\, documents the route\, sights and observations along the way. The culmination of the trip is New Orleans where they are planning small actions of “listening to the river.” This articulates itself as an informal “listening station” where residents are invited to specific points of the waterfront to listen. There\, they settle down next to the river to hear the water passing by. The buoy suspends the hydrophone in the river. Listeners sit\, lie\, “plug in” to the water. It’s a simple action that people often find quite powerful. The sound streams live for anyone listening from afar. \nYou are invited to the river’s bank to participate. \nJoin us at the Audubon Park “Fly” by the old riverboat dock on Sunday\, August 23rd from 3-5pm* \n*Please check back here in case of rain.

SUMMARY:Microscopic Sirens by Pippin Frisbie-Calder
DESCRIPTION:Tigermen Den\, 3113 Royal Street\nOpening Reception May 9th 6:00-9:00pm\nOn view through August 1\nPart of the Wetlands Art Tour \nPrintmaker and current artist in residence Pippin Frisbie-Calder will be collaborating with Dr. Tim McLean of Tulane University to create a body of work around wetland micro algae awareness. In a public display their projections of phytoplankton\, glowing sculptures\, woodcuts and drawings will act as large-scale representations of the aquatic micro-organisms of the wetlands and oceans and demonstrate their importance (functions and roles) within the larger ecosystem. This project aims to serve as an educational tool\, hoping to draw all members of the public\, independent of wetland awareness and appreciation\, since few people (even among researchers) are aware of and recognize the microbial presence\, diversity\, beauty\, and roles within the waters of the wetlands. \nListen to a story about Pippin and Tim on WWNO: An Art/Science Mashup Births ‘Microscopic Sirens’ By Laine Kaplan-Levenson \n\nThe second annual Wetlands Art Tour on Saturday\, May 9th is a FREE\, daylong event in the St. Claude Arts District showcasing art\, performance and activism related to coastal erosion and wetlands restoration in Louisiana. More than 15 venues and many artists\, performers\, activists and scientists will be presenting visual art\, photography\, fashion\, sculpture\, music\, poetry\, puppetry\, comedy\, theater\, film\, dance\, science and activism.

SUMMARY:Maria Möller's "CBD (Chinese Business District)" Installation and Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception with a presentation and tour about the history of New Orleans’ Chinatown  \nBy geographer Richard Campanella \nSaturday\, March 7\, 2015 from 1pm-3pm: \nThe Saratoga\, 212 Loyola Avenue \nThe work will be on view from the street through March 29th as a storefront installation. \n  \nCBD (Chinese Business District) inserts visual memory into the built environment of what was once New Orleans’ Chinatown. From the 1880s through the 1930s\, the largest Chinatown in the southeastern United States was scattered over several blocks in what became New Orleans’ Central Business District (CBD). Almost all the buildings from this time are gone and no photographs of them exist. Most New Orleanians have no idea what was once there. \nFor CBD (Chinese Business District)\, artist Maria Möller partnered with geographer Richard Campanella as part of A Studio in the Woods’ Flint and Steel Residency. Using Campanella’s research as a guide\, Möller created Lunar New Year installations on sites that were once part of Chinatown. The installations and the photographs created of them reference the layers of lived experience that form the bedrock of a city: a unique cultural enclave\, urban development\, urban decay\, and then urban development once again.\n\nThe exhibit’s opening reception will include a presentation by Richard Campanella on the historical geography of this area\, a short walking tour of the places that once were part of New Orleans’ Chinatown\, and a presentation by the artist about the project’s process\, which included time spent with the close-knit community that is descended from the immigrants who built this early Chinese American business district. \nArticles:\n“The lost history of New Orleans’ two Chinatowns” by Rich Campanella for the Times Picayune\n“In New Orleans\, Reviving the Memory of a Forgotten Chinatown” by Tanvi Misra for The Atlantic’s Citylab \nMany thanks to Wisznia | Architecture + Development for hosting the exhibit at The Saratoga. Maria is one of four artists awarded a Flint and Steel Residency at A Studio in the Woods this Spring. These residencies match artists with faculty members to create risk-taking new works designed to ignite social change. Flint and Steel Residencies are sponsored in part by The Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation and Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research.

SUMMARY:Dawn DeDeaux's MotherShip Lands on Two Sites for P3+
DESCRIPTION:ACCORDING TO ASTROPHYSICIST\nSTEPHEN HAWKING WE HAVE 100 YEARS LEFT\nNOT TO SAVE EARTH BUT TO LEAVE HER\nA Studio In The Woods welcomes Dawn DeDeaux as an Artist in Residence presenting Selections from the MotherShip Series as a P3+ Host Site. \nDeDeaux’s work will be on view at two locations from October 25\, 2014 – January 25\, 2015\, Closed Holidays.\nLOCATION A: Tulane’s School of Public Health\, Collins C. Diboll Gallery\, 1440 Canal Street\, First Floor\, New Orleans\, LA 70112Friday – Sunday / Noon to 5pm & By Appointment.\nLOCATION B:Arts Estuary\, 1024 Elysian Fields Avenue\, New Orleans\, LA 70119Thursday – Sunday / 2 to 5pm\, Weather Permitting\, & By Appointment.Closing weekend extended hours:\n2-9pm Friday 1/23 *weather permitting\n12-9pm Saturday & Sunday\, 1/24-25 with the Gallatin Street Brass Knuckle Marching Band from 12-5pm\nEVENTS:\nLOCATION A Opening Reception: Thursday November 20\, 2014\, 4-7pm at the School of Public Health\nLOCATION B Closing Reception Sunday\, January 25th 4-8pmThe sculptures and drawings on view are postulations of the future – influenced by collective mythologies that foretell of the future and the hard mathematical and scientific equations foretelling a future not so dissimilar from myth. Also considered is the work of Carl Jung\, Will​iam Blake and others who have turned to dreams and symbols belonging to the collective subconscious as roadmaps toward the unknown.DeDeaux is a professional New Orleans-based artist of national stature who can translate the complexities of science and sociology\, turning data driven theories into iconic visual forms that speak to public audiences. DeDeaux’s work extends into community engagement and programming to further the outcome of public education and participation in challenges of the day.  Her work is supported both through traditional art foundations and through other underwriters in the fields of science and mental health.This exhibition is presented by A Studio in the Woods\, Tulane/Xavier Center for BioEnvironmental Research\, Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. The exhibition is sponsored in part by CC Imaging Inc\, Centre for Living Arts\, Fertel Foundation\, Julian Mutter\, Piedmont Plastics Inc\, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation\, SGPS ShowRig\, Surdna Foundation\, Catherine Tremaine\, Wayne Troyer Architects. THE RING in collaboration with Michael Krevitt.2014 Interview by Acadiana Center for the Arts: \nAcA:  What is the history behind MotherShip\, the body of work you are currently exploring? \nDeDEAUX:  MotherShip is Earth or a means to leave her. The MotherShip series is prompted by the Katrina – BP Oil Spill wake up call: one’s comprehension of future challenges is heightened when viewing the global battlefront from your own back yard – a yard soon to slip into the Gulf [of Mexico]. \nSuch biographical upheaval is combined with my longtime interest in mathematical equations that calculate the future. For example\, by 2045 Earth will host 9 billion human inhabitants. Suddenly you realize that this planet of ours is rather small: Where are the resources to sustain 9 billion people? Historically\, wars\, viruses\, natural disasters and now terrorism can deliver huge reductions in the population\, but who among us is cheering for this as a solution? Instead we turn to our scientists who are busy trying to make the numbers add up by calculating land mass in relationship to rising seas; identifying zones viable for agricultural growth that will not be impacted by global warming; engineering massive aquaculture farming on epic scale to offset the ever-increasing ocean dead zones and wildlife specie extinctions occurring in record number; envisioning the divisions of fresh water\, soon more valuable than gold\, measured by the ounce and distributed by the drop to the masses…and so the future unfolds. \nTo encapsulate these challenges I chose MotherShip as the series unifying title and core icon. MotherShip is both a metaphor for Earth in need of stewardship; and if we fail\, MotherShip becomes our constructed lifeline vessel to transport us to new frontiers beyond. If you share the projections of astrophysicist Stephen Hawking\, we have 100 years left – not to save the Earth but to leave her. In either outcome\, MotherShip is the link to our survival. \nAcA:  A reoccuring theme in your work is the concept of collective mytholgy that bridges cultures as well as time. How does this manifest itself within MotherShip? \nDeDEAUX:  Mythology:  I am very interested in looking at the mathematical forecasts for the future alongside historical\, collective myths that foretell of the end of time. \nA centerpiece for the series is a life-size shimmering pale horse that gazes into his own reflected image. This emerged both from my own reoccurring Jungian-like dreams and my research of early-recorded mythological histories where such a white or pale horse appears. I was surprised to learn that such a horse is referenced in a sweeping diversity of cultures as a near-universal symbol for the ‘end of (Earthly) time’ – including Babylonian\, Persian\, Hindu\, Saxon\, Asian\, Slavic\, Native American and Biblical texts such as The Book of Revelations – and as a signifier of triumph over evil\, even amidst our predicted annihilation. \nI also turn to the rich body of mythic literature that identifies the Ring as a symbol representing the union of people and time – the alpha and omega. The Ring seems mandated to embody the best and worst of mankind–forged not only of metal but also of desire that both creates and destroys in equal measure. For example the ‘desire’ for greater oil profits has led in part to the death of our wetlands. \nIn my own MotherShip narrative my ring is not like the small gold ring that prompts the Hobbits to risk their lives to save the world\, but instead it is an industrial-scaled Ring\, modeled after those used to build the early Zeppelins – still the largest air ships built to date. This Zeppelin construction Ring represents for me the dysfunctional marriage of man and technology. \nWe allowed our uncontrolled use of technology to bring us to this place of potential peril; but ironically we can no longer divorce ourselves from technology\, as without it we are certainly doomed. \nAcA: Is there a sliver of hope that we can collectively rewrite a strategic script to outwit both myth and math’s gloomy forecast of what the future holds? \nDeDEAUX:  The Odds of Hope:  It is difficult for rational folk to dispute the mathematical equations of Steven Hawking that prompt his 100-year theory. But to abandon hope is equally unreasonable. There are David and Goliath stories and ‘to hope’ for good outcome is at the core of humanness and a go-to-script of myth. \nIt is heartening to see the changing habits of younger generations in terms of energy consumption\, alternative energy\, organic foods\, recycling and the ability to utilize social media to proactively stand up for important issues. There are worldwide efforts but I am specifically proud of the environmental leadership in south Louisiana and how individual groups such as Bucket Brigade\, Gulf Restoration Network\, Restore Louisiana Now and Levees.org are now working together behind the banner of The Green Army. It seems as though a line has been drawn in the sand\, punctuated by the recent Louisiana Legislative effort to kill the lawsuit against oil and gas companies asking for the restoration of dredged canals that contributed to coastal erosion. The effort led by historian and writer John Barry was heroic and it has pushed hope across the threshold. \nCoastal Louisiana is Earth’s youngest land mass\, and will be among the first lands to disappear. In spite of knowing this\, I don’t find myself fraught with an all consuming fatalism – I would rather say I feel a sense of urgency. \nIs there a sliver of hope? Every so often the small horse wins against all odds. If not I will ride out on the pale horse into the big ring and leave my losses behind. Of course I will first teach the horse to swim. \nSharon Litwin interview with Dawn DeDeaux for NolaVie \nProspect 3 interview with Dawn DeDeaux \nNew York Times On Location with Dawn Dedeaux \nLinda Yablonsky at the opening of Prospect on ARTFORUM.com \nAmerican Theater Magazine with Mark Blankenship and Stephanie Coen \nSix Questions for Dawn DeDeaux on www.theind.com \nDeDeaux’s FaceBook page \nBIOGRAPHY \nDawnDeDEAUX is a conceptual artist working in a wide array of media selected as needed to best deliver core ideas.

SUMMARY:The Depth Procession\, Go Low Go Light
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 7th Cauleen Smith\, joined by Rebecca Snedeker (co-author of Unfathomable City with Rebecca Solnit) and Jewel Marie Bush ( journalist and founder of Melanated Writers Collective) embarked on a procession through space and time\, across rivers and back\, down low and underneath. THE DEPTH PROCESSION: Go Low Go Light New Orleans was a cinematic adventure – a film shoot happening in real time with real people and imagined circumstances. Guests joined them on the DJ CLUB WHATEVER PARTY BUS for a ride across the Mississippi in search of intergalactic musical signals from down deep created by musicians Greg Shatz on Bass\, Charlie Joseph on Trombone\, and Monica McIntyre on Cello. Conversation\, sounds and light refreshments offered the bus. Parasols\, sounds and contemplation offered on the river. Go Low and Go Light with The Depth Procession. \nCaution: There will be moments of intense bass vibration. \nDepth Procession: Go Low Go Light New Orleans and H-E-L-L-O was commissioned by En Mas’: Carnival and Performance Art of the Caribbean curated by Claire Tancons and Krista Thompson for CAC New Orleans in collaboration with Independent Curators International. En Mas’ is made possible by an Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition Award. Additional support is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The exhibition will debut at CAC New Orleans in Spring 2015\, and will tour through to 2018. \n\n  \nDepth Procession: Go Low Go Light New Orleans and H-E-L-L-O was\, in part\, inspired by the map “Bass Lines: Deep Sounds and Soils” in Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas and is part of the Unfathomable City: A New Orleans Atlas Printing and Public Project series. This series was created in partnership between the New Orleans Museum of Art\, A Studio in the Woods\, and coauthors Rebecca Solnit and Rebecca Snedeker\, with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:The Art and Soul of Hardwood Bottomland Forest Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Since 2004 Environmental Curator\, David Baker\, has been tasked with the monumental job of restoring our 7.66-acre Bottomland Hardwood Forest to a functioning habitat. From natural disasters to the reappearance of the Cutleaf Grape Fern\, he has many stories to tell about the adventures of preserving these woods. By removing the two dominant invasive species\, Chinese Privet and Chinese Tallow\, from the understory of the forest floor Baker has made way for the germination of a new legacy of hardwood seedlings. \nOn Sunday\, February 13th\, A Studio in the Woods invites you to learn more about his processes and how important the removal is to future forest health. \nThe talk is the inaugural installment of Longue Vue House and Gardens’ new “Sunday Salon” series: a bi-monthly gathering of diverse voices exploring the intersection of art\, culture and environment. Scheduled to run through November 2011\, this year’s series will be themed around the five Chinese elements of wood\, water\, fire\, metal and earth. \nTo learn more about David’s lecture and restoration work at ASITW\, please email him at davidb1972@hotmail.com \nTo support the work of A Studio in the Woods\, please follow this link http://www.astudiointhewoods.org/sitw/?page_id=38

SUMMARY:Unveiling of Eric Dallimore's Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:During his residency at A Studio in the Woods Eric Dallimore (Denver\, CO) has been working on a living public sculpture in the form of a pipeline. This pipeline is not a metal pipe carrying oil\, but instead is a pipeline composed of entirely organic matter that houses a collection of seeds. \nThe Pipeline visually represents man’s destructive force of oil exploration on our Gulf coast\, our wetlands and our forests. With wind and heavy rains as a catalyst\, the pipeline is engineered to intentionally burst at the seams\, releasing seeds onto the ground below. The Pipeline will raise new life from the saturated earth below. \nPlease join us to view & celebrate the completion of Eric’s installation piece. Refreshments will be served and football fans will not miss a beat. (We will have the football game on the radio.) \nWe look forward to seeing you at the Unveiling!
