| FLUID FRONTIER With visiting artists EcoArtTech Mar 2, 2010 through Mar 27, 2010 Reception date: Mar 5, 2010 Reception Time: 4:30-6pm The UNT Art Gallery and the Studio Art Department in the College of Visual Arts and Design and the UNT Fine Art Series present Fluid Frontier, a symposium and exhibition in partnership with WaterWays 2010, the third biennial conference of the UNT Philosophy of Water Project. Parking for Fluid Frontier is available in the UNT Parking Garage on Union Circle, just a two blocks from the Art Building. Fluid Frontier provides programs inspired by water and the environment as cultural, geographical, and personal experiences. The exhibition features new and recent works by 2009 visiting artists EcoArtTech and their UNT student partners. EcoArtTech is a collaborative platform for digital environmental art, created in 2005 by Cary Peppermint and Dr. Christine Nadir. For Fluid Frontier, EcoArtTech has created The Center for the Wildness in the Everyday, an interactive website and blog, a series of photographs by studio graduate students, and a day of family activities. Their focus is Denton's North Lakes Park, as they consider and ask others to consider the University's location in the Trinity River Basin. The symposium kicks off on Thursday, March 4 with a keynote lecture by nationally known Texas artist Dario Robleto. Friday's (3/5) presentations explore environmental aesthetics, digital communication, and artists' projects with Emily Brady, John Frost, Mary Mattingly, and EcoArtTech. For more information about Fluid Frontier presenters, please see links below. Fluid Frontier is supported by grants from the Texas Commission on the Arts, UNT Fine Arts Series, CVAD Visiting Artist and Scholar Committee, and Wells Fargo, and by the participation of UNT students in studio art, philosophy, and art education.
