Topic

Artists Interpret Climate Data: Linda Gass & Tali Weinberg, presented by Surface Design Association

Description

How do we respond to the effects of climate change, pollution, and contamination of our water resources? What will inspire us to change our behavior? California artist Linda Gass will take you on a multi-media journey for a behind-the-scenes look at the research, concepts, and artmaking process of her artwork and how she addresses these questions. Tali Weinberg will be sharing work from her Datascapes project, a series of weavings and coiled sculptures interpreting climate data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as abstracted landscapes and waterscapes.

She learned to love textiles as a child when her grandmother taught her to sew and embroider. Winner of the prestigious 2012 Fleishhacker Eureka Fellowship Award, her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including the Museum of Craft and Design, Oakland Museum, the Bellevue Art Museum and the US Embassy in Moscow and has been published in books and magazines, including National Geographic’s" All Over the Map: A Cartographic Odyssey," "The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography," "500 Art Quilts," and American Craft. When she’s not making art or championing environmental causes, you can find her backpacking, camping and hiking in the wilderness areas of the West where she finds much of the inspiration for her work. Tali Weinberg Artist Tali Weinberg draws on a history of weaving as a subversive language for women and marginalized groups to create a feminist, material archive in response to worsening climate crisis. Through sculpture, drawing, and textiles, she traces relationships between climate change, water, extractive industry, illness, and displacement; between personal and communal loss; and between corporeal and ecological bodies. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Surface Design Journal, the Tulsa Voice, and Ecotone. Recent exhibitions include the University of Colorado Art Museum, 21 C Museum, Berkeley Art Museum, and the Center for Craft. Weinberg has taught at California College of the Arts, University of Tulsa, and Penland School of Craft.
