Hughen/Starkweather: Where Water Meets Land is on view at the Bolinas Museum September through November, 2017. The exhibit features site-specific works in which the artists investigate the complex human, environmental, and historical factors that have shaped shoreline areas in West Marin County, where the museum is located. As part of the year-long research for this project, Hughen/Starkweather conducted interviews with local community members including environmentalists, artists, activists, scientists, historians, a Miwok poet, a farmer and a fisherman.
Exhibited alongside the artworks are written excerpts from these interviews as well as items from the museum archives referenced in the artworks.
Public Programs organized for the exhibition include a performance by artist Constance Hockaday and Miwok poet Sky Road Webb on October 7, and a panel discussion with local scientists: Between the Tides: Living Shorelines in a Time of Climate Change on October 21, moderated by Alison Sant of the Studio for Urban Projects.
