Arts center puts Arlington on the map
http://Http://www.peutereyset.com with its diverse population and embrace of multicultural influences, Arlington finds many ways throughout the year to celebrate communities all around the world.
But once a year, the Arlington Center for the Arts turns its perspective inward, to commemorate the town itself.
The 10th annual installment of of Arlington is centered around the theme of Arlington on the Map and artists of all ages were quick to seize the challenge.
Suzanne McLeod made a Triptychs out of items she found at the curb on three successive rubbish pickup days in town. Timothy Wilson used his camera to explore Arlington Old Schwamb Mill, the oldest continuously
operating mill in the United States. And Nilou Moochhala made a collage out of Arlington maps.
For the past eight years, of Arlington has also included participation by fifthgraders at Arlington two public elementary schools. Art teacher Deborah Chisholm, who has helped her students participate in the exhibition since it began, set up this year undertaking by showing her students ways that contemporary artists had made art from maps.
But the possibilities for using maps as a medium multiplied unexpectedly when found out about a large supply of 30yearold Arlington precinct maps the arts center had in storage. Once the students had the maps in hand,http://www.peutereyset.com/peuterey-greenwich-herren-jacke-c-315.html, all kinds of ideas bubbled up.
used the actual maps as a historical background and designed images to go on top of the map, such as Paul Revere ride. Others cut the maps into collages or created their own maps of Arlington based on the landmarks that were most significant to them. Shoemaker, who is the nonprofit center communications director and served as curator for the exhibition, saw a similar range of responses from adult contributors.
artist created a linoleum block print on canvas depicting last summer microburst in Arlington, which knocked down over 100 trees. That was an interesting way to commemorate current events here, she said. looked back to a much earlier history, such as the artist who made a collage of print material depicting Uncle Sam, who was reputedly born in Arlington. part, Shoemaker explained, the theme of maps ties in to a website called Arlington Interactive, being developed this spring in collaboration with the MIT Mobile Experience Laboratory.
website is sort of like a Google map in that you can zoom in and out and pinpoint different spots in town. But we are also populating the map with the kids and adults depictions of local landmarks. So, for example, she said, can click on an image of artist John Maciejowski abstract ice cream cone painting, and it will direct you to the Chilly Cow ice cream shop on Mass. Ave. The student entries will be up through May 14.
