ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT I traveled to ten venues coast-to-coast from 2013 to 2016. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT II is scheduled to travel to eight or nine venues from 2019 to 2022 with the premiere in St. Petersburg, Florida during the height of the hurricane season which has been on a volatile upswing corresponding to climate change in recent years. Traditional art generally depicts nature in all of its glory, often in beautiful, pristine conditions. The sixty or so paintings, photographs, sculptures and film in ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT are different from traditional works of art because they deal with ominous environmental issues. These range from the implications of global warming, unabated resource development, and industrial scale consumption . . . to unintended consequences such as oil spills, nuclear energy contamination, drought and wild fires, biological effects of low frequency electromagnetic field pollution on vulnerable species such as honey bees, impacts of genetic engineering whereby DNA of one species is extracted and artificially forced into the genetic code of other species, and on and on. The list of phenomena that inflict the planet as we enter the third decade of the 21st Century is daunting and sadly, sure to grow in scale and volume in seen and unforeseen ways which will impact and inflict people and the other inhabitants of the planet for years to come. These are the subjects of ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT II. To produce ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, Curator David Wagner drew upon a diverse range of top-tier artists whose work is not only hard-hitting, but which also has propelled the Environmental Movement through the age in which we live. These include: EXHIBITION ARTISTS (Alphabetical by Last Name) Arnold, Chester, Sonoma, CA Bateman, Robert, Fulford Harbour, BC, Canada Ferguson, Walter W., (b. 1930, New York, d. 2015, Israel) Freda, Britt, Vashon, WA Frost, Jeff, Sky Valley (Palm Springs), CA Ganz, Sayaka Kajita, Yokohama, Japan (now USA) Goin, Peter, Reno, NV Gorman, Stephen, Norwich, VT Greene, Scott, Bernalillo, NM Hackenberg, Karen, Port Townsend, WA Harvey, Guy, Grand Cayman, BWI Helsaple, Mary, Sedona, AZ Johnson, Cole, Binghamton, NY Kerbow, Michael (San Francisco, CA) Lebofsky, Lisa, Accord, NY Meilahn, Michael (Mick), Pickett, WI Osborne, Leo, Anacortes, WA Pas, Rick, Lapeer, MI Santora, Carol, Lyman, ME Stupich, Martin, Albuquerque, NM Volpe, Christopher, Hollis, NH Ullberg, Kent, Corpus Christi, TX Walter, Bart, Westminster, MD Woolf, Suze, Seattle, WA (Subject to change.)
