SUMMARY:Ornamushrooms of Lunenburg: Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:ARTIST TALK & OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, January 16th\, 2024 at 7:00pm.\nThis is a free event\, no registration required. \n\nCat Bluemke’s “Ornamushrooms of Lunenburg” playfully weaves the Town’s architectural heritage with speculative future ecologies through experimental sculpture. Reproducing Lunenburg’s vernacular ornamentation through 3D models and mycelium\, her “Ornamnushrooms” probe the tension in our relationships to housing and food security amidst the global crisis of climate change. As both recent transplant and town resident\, the Artist situates her process within a historical lineage of adapting new technologies to local tastes. The exhibition explores a provocative dialogue between rot and renewal in coastal communities. Can we embrace the decay of our social fabric\, if it proves fertile ground to grow a new future?
