Please join artist Madeleine Segall-Marx for a tour of the installation of her 10-years-in-the-making art project, that speaks to the idea that if we can understand the viewpoint of those we are taught are our enemies, we might one day learn to live on the planet without killing each other. She presented this project at the Commission of the Status of Women at the UN, and has taught a course on it at both Vassar and Bard LLI (please see Tish Fitzpatrick's article on the course in LLI Vassar's latest newsletter).
The project is comprised of 25 large artworks, both sculpture and wall works, along with personal stories of people who have been caught in armed conflict. The book "The Singing Bowl: Voices of the Enemy," will be available to look through and purchase, if you like.
The works all together are an eyeful, as is the barn in which they are installed, at WaveCrest in Hyde Park.
Please come to the house at WaveCrest by 2 pm, where the construction of the project will be explained. Then we will take a short walk to the barn for the tour. At 4 pm, those who would like to stay on at the house for snacks and viewing of other things, are welcome.
You can bring along one other, who is not an LLI member. To register a non-member, send their name and email address to Carole Wolf at cwolf.creative@gmail.com .
There is room for 20. Please RSVP by April 29.
