Finding Common Ground

The struggle to restore Louisiana’s Mississippi River Delta has resulted in a new Master Plan that embraces new advances in scientific knowledge – new tools for rebuilding the coast. Local, traditional ecological knowledge can also be a tool for cost saving planning. Finding Common Ground uses documentary film techniques to show how all those impacted by coastal erosion can cross over out of their silos, overcome long term psychological barriers, and achieve new understanding that may fast track restoration projects to build much needed ground.

30 Years / 30 Blocks
a retrospective installation of place and public art works

30 Years / 30 Blocks is an introduction to thirty works by nationally recognized interdisciplinary artist, and native New Orleanian, Jan Gilbert. Her works are commemorative itineraries of experience that mine memory, loss, and transition. These projects run the gamut from idiosyncratic, personal meanderings to commissioned, large-scale installations and international public art exchanges.

This book accompanies an exhibition held at The Front in the St. Claude Arts District of New Orleans, between June 9 and July 8, 2012. The Front, an artist-run collective and gallery, becomes host and microcosm to the body of public art works by Gilbert. Through a new collection of photographs, architectural details and elements of The Front’s interior and exterior act as formal and conceptual partners for each project. The new photographs are presented alongside archival documentation of her 30 years of public art works. For more information visit jangilbertart.com.
