SUMMARY:WORKSHOP WITH ARTIST NATHANIEL STERN
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, JANUARY 28\, 10 AM – 12 PM \nPre-registered Event; free \nReconsider the life cycle of objects while using e-waste as planters. Artist Nathaniel Stern “roots trees in laptops\, grows molds and fungi in and around tablets\, injects watches\, phones\, and cameras with spores and microscopic life – then lets each flower\, flourish\, incubate\, and spread.” Inspired by Stern’s exhibition\, and led by the artist himself\, participants will dissect old electronics to repurpose them as containers for houseplants. Materials included. Participants are welcome to bring their own e-waste but are not guaranteed it will be used for the project. \nArtwork: Artist Nathaniel Stern is pictured with The Wall After Us (2020 and ongoing.)
