Seeing Green encourages artists to leave the confines
of the studio and take an active role with the
community, to collaborate and address issues of the
environment, and to open a dialog with the public.
Guest curator Nicolas Lampert invited over 40 local
artists to work on a project for the duration of eight
months. During the month of April, 2008 the show will
be exhibited at Woodland Pattern Book Center in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the gallery will serve as a
hub space, informing the viewer and the public of the
many environmental projects taking place throughout
the city, exhibiting visual work and books, screening
films and holding discussions and events based around
the exhibition.
