Another interesting project around water.
Watershed: Art, Activitsm and Community Engagement is a programme organised by Raoul Deal and Nicolas Lampert looking at Milwaukee and the Great Lakes Basin. There are three phases spanning 1) community outreach, 2) public interventions, and 3) exhibition.
There is an interesting video about Colleen Ludwig’s piece in the exhibition and the work she has been doing around touching.
Another of the works addresses corporate power/politics and there is an excellent pdf download of info which is embedded into the artwork in the exhibition.
