I read that Otis College of Art and Design was hosting an experiential, sustainable gallery show, it seemed a perfect opportunity for a location shoot!
The exhibit features household products and services of the “G” variety that are made from renewable, recycled and repurposed sources. The artists are individuals, students and companies who are already manufacturing and distributing with environmental integrity – hence the aggressive title:
DO IT NOW: LIVE GREEN
A bit in your face, I know. I thought the same thing. “Don’t tell me how to live, damn it!” But after touring the exhibit (which runs through October 20th, 2007), I realized the title wasn’t a demand, it was an invitation. (You can) LIVE GREEN NOW. (It’s) DO(able).
It’s about the present, not the future.
So, I aligned our crew and the good people at Otis with a shoot date and we did a show there.
The canvas is three-bedroom house with a front yard “garden” and a backyard area. According to the official press release, the event is “a sensory exploration and practical demonstration of today’s sustainable products that visitors can touch, feel and experience first hand”. With different speakers in this ongoing series, every day is an opportunity to be educated, inspired and entertained about cyclical renewal and product longevity. (There’s also some free swag, if you’re into that. You can never have too many cloth shopping bags or eco-stickers to spread the word.)
