LOVE
CANAL: BLUEPRINT FOR A DISASTER
A STRANGE KIND OF LOVE
In the fall of 1978, we felt compelled to leave the bulcolic,
creative environs of Yaddo, one of this country's most prestigious residency
fellowship programs just days after setting up our studios in what had been
the writer Carson McCullers' beloved Pine Tree Cottage to travel to the Niagara
Falls area outside Buffalo NY to meet with Lois Gibbs and the Homeowner's
Association. On the occason of the Thirtieth Anniversary of the environmental
disaster known as Love Canal - the poisoning of an American community that
ushered in the beginning of the modern environmental movement - artwork from
our Love Canal portfolio has been included in an important and timely
exhibition, curated by Adolfo Nodal, The Future of Nations: Citizen Artists
Making Emphatic Arguments at the 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica,
CA, which then traveled to Tijuana and inaugurated La Casa Del Tunel Cultural
Center. Simultaneous with this exhibition, we launched the online worldwide
Environmental Confession Project below to commemorate the tragedy of Love
Canal and the rising hope and expectations regarding the growing awareness
of our stewardship of the Earth
