Zoom fatigue notwithstanding, Commonstudio founders have had the pleasure of two pandemic presentations.
The first was an artist talk, given by Kim Karlsrud for Graceland Universtiy’s school of visual and Performing arts faculty and students. In it she shared recent work, including a recent gallery-based installation entitled Large and Round When Popped (2020). This work consisted of millions of popcorn kernals deployed in a sprawling field condition on the floor of the University’s Constance Gallery.
The second was a conference presentation for the TNOC Festival, organized by TheNatureofCities.com. Here we screened a 2017 short documentary film entitled 11 Palms to an audience of like-minded urban ecologists, designers, and artists. A lively discussion about the nature of care, and the care of nature followed.
