CLUI

Tonight! Center for Land Use Interpretation

Tuesday, April 4 at 6:30 PM
Visual Arts Complex, Auditorium - 1B20
1085 18th Street, Boulder, CO 80309

Aurora Tang (she/her) is the program director at the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI), a non-profit research organization involved in exploring and understanding contemporary land and landscape issues. The organization produces exhibitions about land use phenomenology in the USA and displays them at its exhibit locations and at other museums and non-commercial and educational venues as well. The CLUI produces publications, online resources, tours, lectures, and other public programs across the country.

The Center for Land Use Interpretation is a research and education organization interested in understanding the nature and extent of human interaction with the surface of the earth, and in finding new meanings in the intentional and incidental forms that we individually and collectively create. They believe that the manmade landscape is a cultural inscription, that can be read to better understand who we are, and what we are doing. The organization was founded in 1994, and since that time it has continuously produced public programs that include exhibits on land use, shown in its own network of exhibit facilities, and in public institutions all over the United States, and overseas. The Center has also published books and periodicals, conducted public tours, and hosted lectures. From the inception of the organization, much of its activity has been focused on an online audience, where visitors to its website can freely access databases and archives. The CLUI exists to stimulate discussion, thought, and general interest in the contemporary landscape. Neither an environmental group nor an industry-affiliated organization, the work of the Center integrates the many approaches to land use—the many perspectives of the landscape—into a single vision that illustrates the common ground in “land use” debates. At the very least, the Center attempts to emphasize the multiplicity of points of view regarding the utilization of terrestrial and geographic resources.

David Ocelotl Garcia

David Ocelotl Garcia: Practicum Speakers Series

Tuesday, April 11 at 6:30 PM
Visual Arts Complex, Auditorium - 1B20
1085 18th Street, Boulder, CO 80309

Colorado-based artist David Ocelotl Garcia (b. 1977, Denver, CO USA) is accomplished across several mediums including painting, sculpture, mosaic and murals. His work can be seen in national and international public art commissions, and both museum and private collections. David believes that "Art", whether we are making it or viewing it, allows us to think more critically, respectfully, and creatively about the world around us. It allows us to have a meaningful impact on the past, present and future. The energy of art engages our mind, body and spirit in a magical way which allows us to feel more deeply and elevates our creative capacity. It is through art that David hopes to manifest beauty, inspiration, color and energy.

Talks are free and open to the public
STUDENTS AND RESEARCHERS FROM ALL MAJORS AND FIELDS ARE WELCOME
For more information, contact the series’ coordinator Martha Russo, mrusso@colorado.edu
