This week, LVAC members are ushering in May in fittingly green fashion, with events and an exhibition inspired by the natural world.
Soft Turns reading group
Sarah Jane Gorlitz and Wojciech Olejnik are hosting a reading group called Thinking Through the Milieu: decentralizing thinking while spending time with plants as part of their artist residency at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography. They write:
Do you have photosynthesis envy? Imagine the ability to send messages directly from one finger to the next, bypassing your brain—like a plant's ability to communicate directly with its roots and nearby flora.
Session Six is this Thursday, May 2 from 6:30-8 p.m. Event details and a reading excerpt are available below.
