SUMMARY:Deadline to Apply - FATHOM: Volume I\, Lead Residency
DESCRIPTION:A Studio in the Woods envisions an open call to select a local artist to work with Tulane biologists to raise awareness about lead contamination in New Orleans with themes related to both public health and the wellbeing of all living creatures. As in many older cities around the world\, lead contamination represents an important health risk to both human and animal inhabitants of New Orleans. Ongoing work by Dr. Jordan Karubian and colleagues suggests that high levels of lead in some New Orleans neighborhoods may impact the behavior and reproductive success of urban songbirds. In this way\, these songbirds may serve as “canaries in the coal mine” for the risks associated with lead contamination\, with the potential to raise awareness about this important but sometimes under-appreciated issue. \nThe artist will collaborate closely with scientists from Karubian Lab and staff at A Studio in the Woods to understand the effects of lead and develop provocative community engagement using the shared platform of Mardi Gras as a vehicle to reach a broad swath of local residents. The program period will be September 2019-April 2020\, and the artist should plan to be in residence at A Studio in the Woods for three weeks during this time. FATHOM: Volume I\, Lead is a pilot effort between A Studio in the Woods\, Karubian Lab\, and ByWater Institute to support and examine the real-world impact of art/science collaborations. If successful\, this project has the potential to extend an additional year. ByWater Institute researchers will study the collaborative process between the artist and scientists through interviews and observations\, and will evaluate the project’s impact on participants through surveys. \nAPPLY HERE

SUMMARY:Ash Arder: Work in Progress
DESCRIPTION:Current Adapatations Resident Ash Arder welcomes members of the community to experience a work-in-progress series of interactive sound sculptures reflecting on the shared histories and tactile experiences of farmers and farm machines. The works are inspired by historic and contemporary technical documentation of agricultural processes and innovation. The works further Ash’s curiosity around what can happen when the experiences of plants and machines are taken into consideration when reflecting on the relationship between the agricultural industry and western culture at large. \nAsh Arder (b. 1988\, Flint\, Michigan) is a transdisciplinary artist whose research-based approach works to expose\, deconstruct or reconfigure physical and conceptual systems – especially those relating to ecology. Arder’s highly flexible practice examines interspecies relations and natural phenomena primarily through historical and popular culture lenses. \nStatement: At the very core\, my creative practice is concerned with the idea of relation. Relation is\, for me\, a basic tenet for understanding how collaboration between ideas and entities might occur. It also acts as a guide for interpreting and making tangible my own patterns of thought and logic. I use the idea of speculative collaboration as a framework to expose\, deconstruct or reconfigure physical and conceptual systems – especially those relating to ecology. \nThese systems and “exercises” take on forms including installation\, sculpture\, sound\, drawing\, electronics\, video and performance. Each ponders the role of agency\, both active and passive\, in co-creating an event or phenomenon. I am interested in complicating viewers’ own understanding of their proximity to and participation in the systems and cycles reflected in my work and subsequently at larger societal and ecological scales. These complications or moments of tension between living things\, objects and space serve as a catalyst for interrogating the very conditions responsible for the glitch. My work and research probe historical events and pop culture (future history) for insight into what I think of as “relational glitches\,” or ruptures in empathy.

SUMMARY:Aurora Levins Morales: Gulf South Poetry and Ecology
DESCRIPTION:New Orleans Center for the Gulf South welcomes you to Tulane’s Climate Action Week with a Thursday poetry reading from poet-scholar Aurora Levins Morales. \nLevins Morales calls us to face the urgency and danger of the present with imagination and hope\, making the time and space to dream together\, dream big\, and set a real course toward our dreaming. She will be reading from and discussing Silt\, a prose poetry collection exploring the natural and social histories of the Mississippi River through Caribbean Jewish eyes\, through the stories of her own body and through her vision of ecological justice\, a global culture of reciprocity\, generosity and inclusion. \n“This is the ceremony of our cells\, each one a sip of water\, a tiny ocean. So let the water in you call to the water in me. Let the water in our veins call to the water in the world\, one rainstorm gathering over the dry paararllaces\, ready to pour down quenching relief\, for we are all of us thirsty. As we gather ourselves in prayerful determination on the edges of endangered streams\, look out over the peril and grief of dead zones that should teem with life\, let the water in me call to the water in you\, and from the deepest waters of our beings all of us feel the pull of a single moon bright with reflected light\, and all move together\, ebb tide and flow\, knowing that the rivers are ancient\, but this moment is new.” \nVisit her website: http://www.auroralevinsmorales.com/. \nThis event is free and open to the public. For more information\, please contact Regina Cairns at rcairns@tulane.edu or 504-314-2854.

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Ash Arder
DESCRIPTION:adaThe event is free\, but RSVP is required. \nMeet A Studio in the Woods’ newest resident artist\, Ash Arder\, who has been awarded one of six Adaptations Residencies at A Studio in the Woods this season. Ash will present on her work to the group and then we will all share a meal. \nThis is a potluck\, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something – drinks\, salad\, appetizer\, dessert… \nPlease RSVP via the ticket link by December 17\, 2018 and let us know what you plan to bring. Please note that parking is limited\, save on gas and carpool with a friend! \nAbout the work: Ash Arder will continue developing a multi-sensory body of work that examines human-plant relations through the lens of agricultural experiments in 19th century Louisiana. Archival reports from these experiments and found field recordings will be used as source material for new works that question historic human-plant relations and speculate about the future of that exchange. \nAbout the artist: Ash Arder is a transdisciplinary artist who creates idea and object-based systems for interpreting and re-imagining interspecies relations (i.e. relations between humans and plants). This highly flexible\, research-based approach examines these relationships primarily through pop culture and historic lenses. Arder’s systems and “exercises” take on forms including installation\, sound\, drawing\, electronics\, video and performance. Each ponders the role of agency\, both active and passive\, in co-creating an event or phenomenon. Arder is interested in complicating viewers’ own understanding of their proximity to and participation in the systems and cycles reflected in her work and subsequently at larger societal and ecological scales. These complications or moments of tension between living things\, objects and space serve as a catalyst for interrogating the very conditions responsible for the glitch. Arder’s work and research probe historical events and pop culture (future history) for insight into what she understands to be “relational glitches\,” or ruptures in empathy.

The project intends to show the risks for people who remain attached to their land\, their territory\, their place. Through the experience of these scents the artist hopes to broaden awareness of environmentally vulnerable areas.

SUMMARY:Fruit Tree Park Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Join A Studio in the Woods\, Fallen Fruit\, Pelican Bomb\, and Newcomb Art Museum for a celebration of the recently planted fruit park at the Bayou Bienvenue Wetland Triangle in the Lower Ninth Ward. \nIn these divided times\, there’s one thing we can all agree on: fruit is delicious! Internationally acclaimed artists Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) began their mission in 2004 to celebrate the endlessly giving resource of public fruit trees. They started by mapping the locations of fruit trees growing on or over public property in their neighborhood of Silver Lake in Los Angeles. Thirteen years later\, the duo has worked in over 30 cities using fruit trees\, public space\, and collective participation as artistic media to transform communities with sweetness\, leaving behind living sculptures that continue to give back. \nThis past winter\, Pelican Bomb\, A Studio in the Woods\, and Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University brought Fallen Fruit to New Orleans. The artists worked in partnership with The Lower 9th Ward Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development and the City of New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways to plant networks of publicly accessible fruit trees in two neighborhoods\, along the Bayou Bienvenue Wetland Triangle in the Lower 9th Ward and in Pontchartrain Park in Gentilly. Residents and community groups across the city joined in the fun\, planting trees in front of their homes\, churches\, and businesses to provide a much-needed resource—fresh\, healthy food—to their friends\, neighbors\, and anybody passing by! \nNow join us for a fun dedication and celebration of this brand new public fruit park!

SUMMARY:Tè Glise: Exploring Relational Ecologies of Cultural Practice through Haiti-New Orleans Connections
DESCRIPTION:Cultivated by Dasha Chapman\, Jean-Sebastien Duvilaire\, Ann Mazzocca\, and Phil Rodriguez\, in collaboration with New Orleans-based artists \nTè glise\, tè tremble. Sliding land\, sinking land. This collaborative community-based performance project puts into conversation the artists’ Haitian and broader African diaspora performance knowledges with New Orleans ecologies\, with the intention of excavating the cultural survivals integral to both. Developed in relation to archival research\, community engagement workshops\, ethnographic and site-specific inquiry\, the work explores the relationship between Haiti|Vodou and New Orleans cultural vitality as it relates to ecological precarity. The artists hope to contribute a contemporary Haitian perspective through this work\, and the project’s long-term nature is process-oriented\, shared in multiple iterations. \nOn June 1st at 2pm at the New Orleans Jazz Museum\, the artists offer components of the work produced during their residency at A Studio in the Woods. The event will be an open format\, including dance and music performance\, video\, and conversation. \n  \nBios: \nDasha Chapman is a scholar\, dancer\, and community connector.

SUMMARY:Bee Palace Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Audubon Zoo where we will celebrate The Bee Palace\, a sculpture by Providence\, RI artist Esther Solondz. \nDuring Esther’s 2017 fellowship at A Studio in the Woods she created The Bee Palace as a nesting site for wild solitary bees. Installed in the Pollinator Garden at Audubon Zoo\, it has successfully been promoting our local bee population in New Orleans. \nEsther will be on hand\, along with staff from the Audubon Insectarium and the zoo to applaud the ongoing project and answer question\, (such as what are wild solitary bees anyway?!). Entrance for this free event will be at the Education gates (to the right of the main zoo entrance). \n

SUMMARY:Fallen Fruit of New Orleans: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception for Fallen Fruit’s EMPIRE\, a new art installation on view at the Newcomb Art Museum. Friday\, April 13. 5:30pm – 9pm \nCelebrating the New Orleans Tricentennial\, EMPIRE is an art installation by Los Angeles-based artists Fallen Fruit\, David Allen Burns and Austin Young\, commissioned and presented by Newcomb Art Museum\, A Studio in the Woods\, and Pelican Bomb. Through this assembly of over 300 objects\, the artists will transform the entire museum into one immersive artwork. \nThe project uses objects culled from the diverse archives and collections across campus\, including art\, sound\, documents of record\, material culture\, and artifacts. It activates objects held by the Amistad Research Center\, Hogan Jazz Archive\, Latin American Library\, Louisiana Research Collection\, Middle American Research Institute\, Newcomb Art Museum\, Newcomb College Institute\, Royal D. Suttkus Fish Collection / Tulane University Biodiversity Research Institute\, and Southeastern Architectural Archive\, among other campus collections\, shifting the lexicon of historical meanings into one work of art. \nEMPIRE critically examines the principles of archives and anthropology to interrogate the ways histories are told\, remembered\, and revised. The immersive artwork considers the historical and contemporary effects that colonialism\, slavery\, trade\, and tourism have had on the movement of culture across and beyond borders to better understand the geographic and cultural position of New Orleans in relationship to Africa\, the Caribbean\, and Latin America. EMPIRE invites viewers to creatively interpret the displayed objects\, their connections\, and their juxtapositions to generate new meanings. \nEMPIRE at Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University is part of “Fallen Fruit of New Orleans” a suite of site-specific projects taking place throughout New Orleans from June 2017 through June 2018\, commissioned and presented by Newcomb Art Museum\, A Studio in the Woods\, and Pelican Bomb. “Fallen Fruit of New Orleans” was initiated by Pelican Bomb in 2015.
