| Gerald Beaulieu’s piece Pastures 2008 will tour to the U. S. |
Fifteen international artists will bring their artistically sizzling but environmentally friendly sculptures and installations to Philadelphia for Global Warming at the Icebox, an autumn exhibition at the Crane Arts Building in Northern Liberties. Artists from Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Taiwan, US and Puerto Rico will install works using science, satire, and wild imagination. The exhibition will be on view from October 5 through November 15. Curated by independent curator and project co-director Cheryl Harper with artist-critic and project co-director Leslie Kaufman, and Philadelphia Museum of Art Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Adelina Vlas, the exhibition demonstrates how art can take ideas based in science and then stretch, tickle, and deconstruct them.
Island artist Gerald Beaulieu has a piece in the exhibition. Gerald studied art at the Ontario College of Art and Design including a final year of study at the New York City satellite campus, graduating in 1987. In 1988 he moved to PEI, where he now works and lives with his family. He is primarily a sculptor and installation artist. He has had many exhibitions across Canada most recently in Fredericton, New Brunswick and Regina, Saskatchewan, and is currently completing a commission for UPEI.
