Tad Gloeckler - 2011 Earth Day presentation
UW Arts Institute Interdisciplinary Arts Residency Program Spring 2011 artist-in-residence, Tad Gloeckler, participated in the Nelson Institute's fifth annual Earth Day conference at the New Union South on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, April 20th, 2011.
As part of a panel on "Innovation in Sustainable Design through the Arts," he deployed his installation SchoodicPeninsulaBlackDiabaseDikeTeaTable-withPopoverJamandButterDipPools. The work conceptually unites spectacular geology of black diabase dikes at Schoodic Peninsula with historical traditions of serving tea and popovers at nearby Mount Desert Island.
The product (a tea table) was informed by the landscape of Acadia National Park, and explores the often exploitative relationship that humans have to nature.
