Curating Grow Op

We’re excited about the upcoming seventh edition of Grow Op opening next week at the Gladstone Hotel, our fourth in the role of curators. This year’s show is the biggest yet, with over 25 projects across all four floors of the hotel. It’s a jam packed exhibition with events happening each day, April 17th through the 21st, encouraging participants to engage with the artists in the critical dialogues taking place around climate, landscape, and ecology.

What comes after the flood?

We’re back curating the sixth edition of Grow Op at the Gladstone Hotel in April 18-22, 2018. In the upcoming exhibition, we contemplate AFTER THE FLOOD. What lies beyond once the floodwaters recede? What emerges once the smoke clears? As cataclysmic climate events multiply in tandem with our species’ continuously expanding footprint, we are re-conceiving our relationships with the organic and inorganic world around us in unprecedented ways. The call for submissions closes September 30th.

Catylising Creativity

Our friends from Ross Curtner and Scott Baker from Adjacent Possibilities talked about working with LeuWebb Projects and offered lessons learned for models of engagement between artists and non-artists alike as part of their discussion at the Creative Catalyst Symposium on Art & Social Innovation.

In conversation with artist, researcher and professor Filiz Klassen, the Weathering Climate Change: Bridging Art and Innovation talk examined how we can meaningfully connect the worlds of innovation with art and culture to address complex social issues like climate change.
