Shepard Fairey - Green Power
Presented by Subliminal Projects
As one of the world’s most provocative contemporary artists, Shepard Fairey’s career is founded on the ability to create powerful visual imagery coupled with rousing calls to action. Green Power is a selection of works curated especially for Creating Equilibrium from the environmentally themed Earth Crisis exhibition in Paris last year, which was an extension of his groundbreaking Earth Crisis Globe installation at the Eiffel Tower in 2015. Green Power presents select pieces from that series and related works in silk-screen on wood panels to the Lake Tahoe area for the first time.
Land-to-Lake Climate Art Installation
Presented by Tahoe Public Art
A custom designed 3D augmented reality art experience that takes visitors on a journey through the impacts of climate change on the ecological biodiversity of the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Tree Hugger Wawona
an interactive installation that combines today’s cultural hunger for mind-blowing experiences with art, environmentalism and technology in an attempt to curb deforestation
Anthropocene
Presented by 5 Gyres
This participatory metal sculpture is about microplastic pollution that flows from our seas into us. There are four bicycle generators that power LED lights and water pumps that push microplastic-laden water through the body of DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man.
Gilles Cenazandotti Environmental Art Exhibition
Presented by Contessa Gallery in collaboration with Tahoe Public Art
Visitors will encounter a series of endangered species, sculpted by world-renowned artist and activist Gilles Cenazandotti, constructed of discarded objects harvested from Mediterranean beaches (including petroleum, oil and plastic based products destroying natural habitats).
JUNKraft
Presented by 5 Gyres
This exhibit, titled “Junk and Gyre” is a traveling show that just came offline from the Cleveland Aquarium. The center of the exhibit is the JUNK raft, which is a raft made from 15,000 plastic bottles that floated an airplane from Los Angeles to Hawaii in 88 days back in 2008. The entire exhibit tells the story of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and what must happen to solve the problem.
