The installation reception will be held from 4-6 p.m. 12月12日星期一. 2, in Centre Hall at Penn State Lehigh Valley. The community is invited to attend and meet the artist and community partners involved. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.
“This public art project, which started back in April, has been a rewarding undertaking — from the enthusiasm and feedback of the Lehigh Valley community to the more distant partners that we didn't anticipate, along with the sheer number of wings that have been collected and pinned,安·拉里克说, gallery director and arts coordinator at Penn State Lehigh Valley. “We are so excited to reach our goal of completing the 8’, 5’, 3’, 2’ and 1’ diameter circles that boast thousands upon thousands of wings!”
拉里克和莉兹·弗莱厄蒂, associate teaching professor of art history, coordinator of arts administration, and co-coordinator of the honors program at Penn State Lehigh Valley, served as co-leaders of the SFZ project committee.
访问ing 艺术ist Elsabe迪克森 and Penn State Lehigh Valley staff and faculty have worked with community groups to take part in the pinning activities as part of this large public art project.
The Lehigh Valley campus partnered with Dixon to create environmentally proactive art about the invasive 发现lanternfly through Penn State's 校园艺术倡议. The SFZ project explores the infestation of the 发现lanternfly. Collection of the wings in quarantine zones were a community project that area schools and organizations helped to harvest. This provided opportunities for people who are not artistically inclined to be involved in the art-making process alongside Dixon. Wing-pinning activities occurred both on and off campus, allowing smaller parts to be assembled from the inside out, like how a mandala is constructed.
