At the Carnegie:
A Swarm
It’s a work by Laura Grossett (MFA in printmaking, CSU 2012) . Her website says it is called ‘Ascending Swarm’ but the name given to the work at the Carnegie was ‘Rising Swarm’. There are slips of paper near each bee on which is printed tales of labor exploitation submitted by community members. I can’t remember the last time I was exploited at work, but:
GEC Labor Exploitation
Entomology students and professors are gathered together on this day to make biologically themed art items for possible sale at the next GEC gathering. It seems people pay good money for insect related items. Who knew?
Copper Electro-Formed things
Not bugs this time but a polished stone, a flower and two dried plants. As I write this I am thinking of other things to electroplate. Look out!
